[Paraview] Problems with State File

[Kent Eschenberg]

Using 3.2.1 on Linux it is impossible to exactly restore the display by 
recalling the state file. This is particularly important at facilities using 
pvbatch to render very large data sets, and using the state file to define the 
image.

1) The file gets larger at every load/save cycle. This doesn't look right.

2) The camera zoom is never restored. It seems to "zoom out" as if going to 
some default location.

3) In the XDMF reader I turn off 80% of the variables to reduce memory demands. 
These are always turned on again after loading the state.

4) A simple box is included (its useful for positioning the camera) but turned 
off before the state is saved. Upon reloading the state its always on.

Should these things be happening?
