[Paraview] Paraview 3.1.0 / "Save Screenshot" error Linux

[Moreland, Kenneth]

The Save Screenshot feature uses a special offscreen buffer to do the
rendering (to prevent capturing any dialog boxes or other windows that
may be over the ParaView window).  This is a tricky bit of code because
different graphics hardware provides different mechanisms for doing
this.

This could be an issue with your graphics driver (we have seen them
before).  If possible, try updating your driver and get back to us.
