Hi!

I would also like to get rid of the yellow disc that appears in RViz 
every time you change the viewpoint.
This was brought up in March on the mailing list:

Is that possible in the current cturtle release without recompiling rviz 
(if yes, I could not find the config option or parameter)? I would have 
to switch from the precompiled .debs to SVN just for that otherwise...

Maybe there's a .cg somewhere where the disc could be set to be 
completely transparent?

Cheers,
Armin
