Ahh, my bad, I forgot to mention what I've tried to fix this. ;) I have read 
the FAQs and set track_window_visibility to "1" (enabled). Without this 
option we got many windows popping up, but they weren't entirely black as 
they had the "SGI OpenPerformer" logo on them (but no other output). With the 
track_window_visibility = 1 we have just this one black window. Once the 
black windows are moved out of the way our program runs without other issues. 
We have tried playing with the Performer window types and found that 
PFPWIN_TYPE_SHARE works the best for Performer (PFPWIN_TYPE_X doesn't quite 
work, I'd have to re-enable it to remember what issues it caused).  We are 
using only one pipe and one processor in Performer.

Some details I forgot to mention:
  CPU: Dual Intel Xeon 2.8GHz
  OS: RHEL 4
  Video Card: nVidia NV45GL Quadro FX 3400/4400
  Video driver: nVidia 1.0-9775

Thank you,
