[Paraview] Interaction between customized ObjectPanel and Model Display

[Moreland, Kenneth]

I believe you can access the VTK object(s) indirectly with the vtkSMProxy
object returned from pqLoadedFormObjectPanel::proxy().  In general, your
object panels will not have direct access to the VTK objects they control
(that is, you cannot get pointers to the VTK objects) because they are
frequently not on the same process as the GUI.
