[Paraview] unexpected behavior w/ "Load State" command

[Utkarsh Ayachit]

Geoff,

When one sets up display properties from the Display tab, these 
properties apply to the way that data is shown in the current active 
view. When state file is loaded, all current views are destroyed and new 
views, as specified in the state file, are created and only those 
objects that were visible in the state file remain visible. Since new 
views are created (and old ones destroyed) all the changes you made to 
the Display tab are lost.

Actually, there's even talk of deleting all existing objects before 
loading state. If that's done then you'd even loose the disc source.
