[Paraview] No keyboard input on CentOS 5 (==Redhat Enterprise 5)

[Bernhard Gschaider]

Hi!

I've just recently updated my computer to CentOS 5. The paraview
installation remained the same.

Now Paraview is behaving strangly:

- When starting, the Splash-Screen looks washed out (I think solarized
  is the name for the effects). The filter-icons look the same. (But
  thats OK for working)
- Some of the textboxes (but not all of them) don't accept keyboard
  input (that is serious). Among them are
  - the textboxes for the editing of the colormap
  - the textbox for the file dialogs
- The "wheels" that are used for the transformations (scale etc) look
  like the icons and behave strangly (hard to explain, but they're hard
  to click and keep spinning)

Does anyone have an idea what the problem could be?

As I said: system is a CenOS 5(for all practical purposes equal to
Redhat Enterprise 5). The machine is an Opeteron. Graphics-Board is an
NVidia with the vendor-driver compiled as a kernel-module.

The same effect can be seen in a Paraview 2.4.3 and a 2.6 version

I think one of the libraries got updated and doesn't like paraview any
more. Canh anyone here with a deeper knowleadge about paraview tell me
which library could be to blame?

Thanks
