[Paraview] Paraview and tiled display

Thu Sep 3 16:13:28 EDT 2009

This is weird, I thought I could reproduce this, but I no longer can.

Try this, before connecting to the server from the client, open
"Edit|Settings", then on the "Render View | Server" page, change the
"Compositing Threshold" in "Tile Display Parameters" to 0. Then
connect to the server and create sphere etc. Do you get the segfault
immediately this time?
