[Paraview] fixes for AIX 5.1

[Rich Cook]

So of course now I get the following error after installing  
paraview.  It will not draw into the main window, and spits the  
following out onto stderr:

# Error or warning: There was a VTK Error in file: /usr/global/tools/ 
Kitware/Paraview/2.4.2/src/aix_5_64_fed/paraview-2.4.2/GUI/Widgets/ 
vtkKWTkUtilities.cxx (217)
vtkPVApplication (110185af0):
     Script:

     Returned Error on line 1:
