I have some good news on this front.  This morning I got mayavi working 
offscreen on bsd.math.w.e.  I did this with Ondrej's femhub package that 
we worked on during the sprints at scipy09.  Once it worked, I redid 
everything to make sure it was reproducible and was able to produce two 
mayavi images remotely.

Right now the packaging is a bit of a mess since I manually rebuild 
python using --enable-framework and then used modified spkg-installs for 
vtk and mayavi.  These should be trivial to make into fresh spkgs and 
I'm discussing this off-list with Ondrej.  I think we should be in a 
position to get SPD and femhub working with this setup very soon.

I have not fixed any of the other sage+framework related issues here:

However, I am happy that mayavi works offscreen now on the Mac in 
addition to Linux.

cheers,
prabhu
