[Paraview] plugin not loaded?

[Utkarsh Ayachit]

Plugins that are directly placed in the auto-search paths should be
automatically loaded. Any plugin in another directory in that path, as
is the case with the plugins we are distributing with ParaView such as
the point sprite plugin, they won't be loaded by default.
