[Paraview] Using the accept button from a pqObjectPanel

[Utkarsh Ayachit]

Hmm, I can't think of any easy way to achieve that.
One hackish way is to go up the Qt parent tree for the panel till you 
hit a pqObjectInspectorWidget. I think pqObjectInspectorWidget is indeed 
the parent of the panel. Once you have the
pqObjectInspectorWidget you can call the appropriate slot on it. 
Ofcourse, this is just a hack, so try at your own risk :).
