[Paraview] Object Inspector Tabs

Fri Aug 5 11:07:55 EDT 2011

The fact that "SetSomeBoolVar" is not in the *CLientServer.cxx file is
the problem. It has nothing to do with the XML, but for some reason
the parser that generates the CLientServer.cxx file decided that the
method is not "wrappable". If you can attach the header file, I may be
able to tell what the issue may be.
