[Paraview] Something wrong with Ubuntu 10.10 -> compared with Ubuntu 10.04

Wed Jan 19 09:06:14 EST 2011

Yes - the installed paraview is 100% a standard-package binary version 
installed through the graphical package manager that ships with ubuntu 
10.10 - I didn't build it myself, so there's no compile-options that 
could cause this problem...

To David: "So this is a package installed ParaView then"? Yes it is... 
(sorry I answered before but my email program came up with error message 
about the mailserver and after trying a couple of times, the mailprogram 
crashed and refused to send you the answer, so here's the answer - and I 
hope the mail-program will not complain this time...
