This is how I have imagined it would play out. I had opportunity to take a 
peek at how it is done in the spherical display path, just wish I had one 
of those nifty displays to work with :-)

When time comes, I will happily volunteer my lab to help flesh out support 
for non-generic osgViewer applicaions. Unfortunatly, I cannot provide for 
development of the needed code currently. There may be opportunity for 
this to change as we thaw out and approach summer. :-)

As always, I am extremely appreciative of OSG and the wonderful community 
it has attracted/enthralled/motivated/etc/etc/etc.
