Unfortunately your update to Renderer::updateSceneView() doesn't address the issue, nor would I expect it to. SceneView already gets the updated osg::View::LightingMode value inside SceneView::inheritCullSettings(), which is called inside Renderer::cull() (line 69, just a few lines down from the call to updateSceneView()).

The problem is that the Renderer is never run for the master camera since I disabled it using mastercamera->setGraphicsContext(NULL). So the SceneViews for the slaves, which use the master camera's StateSet as their _globalStateSet, still have lighting enabled.

I'm not saying this behavior is wrong per se, since I did explicitly disable the master camera. But if any change is to made to the OSG, it would have to be in ViewerBase::renderingTraversals() since that is where the master camera's Renderer::cull() method would normally be called.

Let me think of an appropriate minimal update to ViewerBase::renderingTraversals(). Basically it needs to first update the lighting modes for each disabled camera's StateSet before performing Renderer::cull() for each enabled camera.
