Richard,

Thanks for the reply.  Can you confirm that you can make this work on a Linux 
machine with no display manager / window manager (I'm not sure of the correct 
terminology)?

As I mentioned, I can make such standalones with 3.5; but built from 4.6.4, it 
simply hangs on launch even with the -ui flag (without the -ui flag it stops 
immediately with the message "can't open display").

Many thanks,

Ben
