I have a problem with lighting (I think) CGO lines, e.g.,

lineSet = [
>    LINEWIDTH, 0.30,
>    BEGIN, LINES,
>    VECTOR, 0.0, 0.0, 0.0,
>    VECTOR, 1.0, 1.0, 1.0,
>    END,
>    ]
> cmd.load_cgo( lineSet, 'LineSet' )
>

For some reason, lines appear crisp from one angle, and strangely distorted
from another angle (it's about 180deg for both -- think dark vs. light side
of the moon: there is a crossover point). Here are links to two screen shots
that show the problem:

I have tried respositioning the lights (in the screenshot they're at the 6
faces of the box, marked by blue balls), but it doesn't change the viewing
angle at all, only the shade of the lines. I have tried messing with the
specular and spec_direct settings, but that only caused the lines to
disappear completely (or rather, turn completely white). I also tried
changing the ambiance settings, but that only changed the hue of the lines.

I would really appreciate some help if anyone knows how to fix this. Thanks!

Oh, and for reference, here's my system information:

This Executable Build integrates and extends Open-Source PyMOL 1.3.
>  OpenGL graphics engine:
>   GL_VENDOR: NVIDIA Corporation
>   GL_RENDERER: GeForce 9500 GT/PCI/SSE2
>   GL_VERSION: 3.2.0 NVIDIA 195.36.24
>  Detected 8 CPU cores.  Enabled multithreaded rendering.

I recently went pack to 1.3 as I was getting __very__ slow load times with
1.4.

Cheers,
Stephen
