<br>
i have a vtk file loaded into paraview3, and i have made an<br>
isosurface rendering. when i want to select the vtk object<br>
in the pipeline browser (because, for example, i want to try<br>
and draw another surface with a different isovalue), i see <br>
this pkdtree thing show up in the progress bar, and it takes<br>
a long time (10s of seconds) just to reset all the controls<br>
(object inspector, etc) to reflect that i have selected the vtk<br>
source rather than the contour. <br>
