[Paraview] Paraview 3.8 RC2 makes the whole X restart

[Paul McIntosh]

Another thought - just try the precompiled RC2 binaries and see what the
difference is.

I also agree with checking the driver, the last issue I had was caused by
this (an upgrade fixed it).

For the list - are there any debug options that make ParaView print/log what
it is doing? E.g. export DEBUG_INFO=TRUE 

There seems to be a few instances like this where something goes wrong and
there is no information. Even if there isn't ParaView should make use of the
QStatusBar to give some hints.
 
Cheers,

Paul

Any chance you have a GL driver issue? Was your driver updated recently? 
Can you *still* run 3.6.2 without problems?
