VisAD uses double buffering in Java3D, but we do
still see this grey screen when a Java3D display
starts up. You might be able to find out about
the cause of this by subscribing and sending a
question to the java3d-interest@xxxxxxxxxxxx
mailing list (see the Java3D web page, linked from
the "Prerequisites" section of the VisAD web page,
for more about the mailing list).

Cheers,
Bill
