[Paraview] How to push a value to the ServerManager so it gets pushed down to the Server

[Utkarsh Ayachit]

Why do you have the "information_only" attribute ? That's used only
for properties whose value are obtained from the server -side and are
never pushed "to"  the server. Simply remove that attribute, and it
should work -- I think.
