[Paraview] reverse connection

[Karelitz, David B]

Here's how I do it:

1. In the paraview GUI (started normally), click the connect icon.
2. In the box that pops up, click on Add a server
3. The name can be whatever you would like (we use "Manual"). Server
Type should be "Client/Server (reverse connection)". Host and port can
be left alone.
4. Hit Configure
5. "Startup Type:" should be "Manual"
6. Hit "Save"
7. Exit the client
8. Start the client from the command line with "paraview
--server=Manual" If you named the server differently in step 3, use that
name instead.
9. Start the server with "pvserver -rc -ch=<client machine>"

This will modify the XML file specified below in your home directory to
include the items necessary for reverse-connection from the command
line.

I always use the ParaView GUI or XML to specify the client connections.
In the XML, you change the resource to start with "csrc:" instead of
"cs:".  I don't know how to do it from the command line.  Perhaps Berk
or Alan can speak up here.
