[Paraview] mpi startup

[Dave Semeraro]

Ok, success! I was able to fire up paraview on 4 nodes of our cluster. Our 
cluster also runs
a tiled display. I fired up the display to see what running across the 
nodes would do. I was
under the impression that running in parallel would place a render window 
on each node. I
saw no such behavior. I assume that geometry is created in parallel and the 
head node
renders in the default setup. I noticed some rendering controls on the 
console. What are
the settings for parallel rendering?

Thanks,
Dave
