[Paraview] Paraview 3.4.0 accepting connections from multiple servers

[Berk Geveci]

It was never possible to have multiple servers connect to a ParaView
client. There was a way of specifying the display variable for each
node in a configuration file. Using that you could launch a 2 process
mpi job and assign each to a different display. Utkarsh, do you know
if we are still reading configuration xml files (I forgot the
extension)?
