[Paraview] Auto-load plugin failed

[Jérôme]

Thanks Yumin,

- For the XML auto-load failure, I will post it in the bug tracker. Do I
have access to mantis with an universal authentification? Or do I have to
request for a login/pass?

- For the autostart plugin that shows the warning, I will try with a minimal
build environment and post it as bug (if it is confirmed).

Best regards,
Jerome
