Peter,
The situation with Chimera, PyMOL, etc. is the same as with VMD...
Unless you have the nVidia FX 4500 card on a newish PowerMac, you are limited to full-screen/blue-line stereo 3D.
I am very much hoping that Apple will offer some lower-end stereo-3D-in-a-window options once they transition their entire system lineup over to Intel.
Cheers,
Warren
