This could just be competition for cycles. You might try
putting a small delay in your program to give the windows
time to come up. Something like:
from visad.util import *
. . .
Delay(1000)
. . .
Insert the Delay(1000) after you've created the first 3 displays.
Delay(1000) will wait for one second, adjust as needed.
Good luck,
Bill
