[Paraview] registry file?

  I'll re-chime against that idea.

If you make this a compile-time option then the support costs go up  
because you then have to know how ParaView was compiled in order to  
attempt to help someone.

Basically I am voting to change this just on OS X. On windows, the  
registry will not work and on Linux the .config seems to be the  
"standard". So we are left with just 2 places to look depending on  
Operating system.
