[Paraview] How to color by Cell Data

[Utkarsh Ayachit]

Mike, but the cell data shows up correctly on the information tab,
right? So the cell data is being loaded, and even reported to
ParaView. It's hard to imagine why it would be doing what it's doing,
esp. with the precompiled binaries on Mac, since they work fine for
me, on my Mac 10.6  :).

It cannot be a mere GUI issue since from the debugging report that
Mike gave us before, ParaView indeed doesn't report those cell arrays
to the client when rendering. I just wish I could reproduce it somehow
somewhere so I could debug it  :). I am going to test on Os X 10.5 to
see if we have any better luck.
