i fixed it by blowing away my existing installation and using newly  
pulled copies of al the software.  i was able to fix my plotting; it  
was  vtk problem.  BTW, perhaps it is because I'm using the VTK CVS  
source, but I do get the following command line output when running  
something with viper plotting:

python[57321:613] *** _NSAutoreleaseNoPool(): Object 0x5ba0060 of  
class vtkCocoaServer autoreleased with no pool in place - just leaking

Also, a remark on installation.  I use the Apple python distribution,  
but like to keep all my personal software libraries in /opt.  However,  
for some reason dolfin wants to install pydolfin in
/Library/Python/2.5/site-packages, despite setting --prefix=/opt when  
configuring.  there's a similar issue with UFC.
