[Paraview] "Save View Image" crashes X on my Intel Mac

[William Klug]

I did find the thread titled "PV crashed when saving image" from  
June, where the problem was on Linux (Fedora Core 5) and seemed to be  
resolved by a patch added to the cvs distribution.  Berk, you had  
mentioned in this post:
   http://public.kitware.com/pipermail/paraview/2006-June/003294.html
that there's a line that could be commented out to work around the  
problem.  Can you point me to this line?

Also, Joe, thanks for the head's up about the Apple X11-users list.   
I'll check that out too.

Bill
