Hi Philo,
That is very interesting. I'll try these cases here. It looks like POV-Ray
is providing an alpha channel that is not completely opaque. I didn't think it
did this. It should be easy to fix I think.

The LDView and LDGLight parts are not ready for primetime.
For LDView you need to fire up LDView, create an LPub preference set, and then
use LDView with LPub. Even then, I don't think LDView is ready for prime time
(I'll add this to the docs). The global coordinates and camera lens angle stuff
still don't quite work right.
LDGLite has similar problems.
