[Paraview] Problem with Color Gradients in 'Save Screenshot'

[Utkarsh Ayachit]

Phil/Jereme,

FYI, this has now been fixed in "master" and will make it into 3.8.1 release.

Here's the VTK commit for the change:

    Fixed BUG 0010836. Ensure that tileviewport is used for gradient
backgrounds.

    Fixes issue with gradient (and texture) backgrounds not working when saving
    large screen shots in ParaView.
