[Paraview] pvserver : cannot connect to X server

[Paul Edwards]

I've just run into the same problem (CVS updated at earlier in the week) and
I cannot run pvserver without a X display.  It means I can't run it on my
cluster (not even when using OSMesa and the --use-offscreen-rendering
option....)

Any ideas?

Thanks,
Paul
