How to use SDL with OGRE?

When I go to use OGRE with the SDL (as described in this article ), I seem to be having problems with the second window that appears behind my main rendering window. Basically, the code I'm using is this:

SDL_init(SDL_INIT_VIDEO);
SDL_Surface *screen = SDL_SetVideoMode(640, 480, 0, SDL_OPENGL);

Ogre::Root *root = new Ogre::Root();
root->restoreConfig();
root->initialise(false);

Ogre::NameValuePairList windowSettings;
windowSettings["currentGLContext"] = Ogre::String("True");
Ogre::RenderWindow *window = root->createRenderWindow("MainRenderWindow", 640, 480, false, &windowSettings);
window->setVisible(true);

The question is, how do I get rid of an extra window?

For posterity only, I use OGRE 1.6.4, Mac OS X 10.6.2 and SDL 1.2.14.

// grab a string representing the NSWindow pointer
Ogre::String winHandle = Ogre::StringConverter::toString((unsigned long)wmInfo.info.cocoa.window);

// assign the NSWindow pointer to the parentWindowHandle parameter
params.insert(std::make_pair("parentWindowHandle", winHandle));

Ogre::RenderWindow *ogreWindow = root->createRenderWindow("myWindowTitle", width, height, isFullscreen, &params);
// see OGRE documentation on how to populate width, height, and isFullscreen to suit your needs

// create OGRE scene manager, camera, viewports, etc
