Yes, exactly, that's what I would like.  What I'm actually doing is VTK 
programming (vtk.org), but through a scripting language.  I figured out 
how to manually position and size the window via VTK commands, but this 
just moves the window around in its current layer without bringing it to 
the top.  I tried positioning the window way off the screen where there 
would be no other windows, which it did, but when I ran the command to 
capture the image, X crashed.  Oops, won't try that again!
