I suspect the OpenGL drivers for Brian's graphics card don't support the
point mechanism we use (or at least not at the size we use).  The
information in the "About" dialog should reveal if this is the case -
for example Martin's can handle point sizes between 1 and 64 pixels:

If there are cards which don't support this we need to check and fall
back to some other way of drawing the blobs.  Unfortunately that will
probably be rather slow.

Well I'm not sure what's going on here, but I now understand the
symptoms!  I'll investigate.

Ah yes, that sounds like a plausible explanation.  Oddly it works fine
on Linux though.  Anyway, thanks for the suggestion.  I'll investigate.
