[Paraview] Time-Varying Input Sources

[Randall Hand]

Ok, that gets it to display 2 timesteps (0 and 1).  How do I get it to
display all 48 so that the user can flip between them with the spinner up
top?

It still works with the Animation view if I manually configure it to show 48
frames between 0 and 47.
