Thank you for looking into this!

We've already deployed a patched ParaView 3.2.1 (changes to
rendering.xml to enable the activation of shading via the python
interface) to a whole lab of machines.  Is there perhaps any other
work-around that does not involve having to deploy a new build?  Could
we somehow force a cast on the data or something?

Thanks again,
Charl
