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

[Alexander Jarosch]

I have the newest version for my graphic card, the Intel i915 GM. I run
a 2.6.21 kernel, xorg-x11-7.3, xorg-server-1.4 and the mesa-6.5.2 lib. I
still do get this error no matter what I do. Can I provide more details
to help figuring this out?
