[Paraview] stereo wall configuration

[Moreland, Kenneth]

Is pvserver creating a window on the first screen?  It could be that the
DISPLAY environment is not being set right.  That would probably be a bug in
the pvx file processing, but you should be able to get around it by passing
a -display flag to the pvserver program.
