[Paraview] Filter pulldown menu grayed out

[rasm1 at rasmsys.com]

Switching to Qt 4.6.0 fixed the issue with the grayed-out filter menu.

The application seems to run pretty well.  The only problem I've  
noticed is that when I load a saved state, there seems to be a Qt  
drawing issue.  The display area is gray when it should display the  
output of a contour, and this message is thrown to the Output Messages:
QWidget::repaint: Recursive repaint detected

That's not a show-stopper for me.  I'm happy to have made it this far!
