[Paraview] How to debug Paraview

[Weiguang Guan]

I think the answer to your question is YES. I am running Paraview on HP's 
SVA cluster. The paraview client (paraview) is running on one of the 
display nodes of the cluster.

I lauch paraview through a script called sva_paraview.sh, which does job 
scheduling, allocating nodes, starting X servers besides mpirun-ing 
pvserver-s.
