[Paraview] custom filters missing from menus

[Utkarsh Ayachit]

John,

I've committed a fix for this issue on the stage
(12240_cleanup_proxy_definition_manager). Can you please test it out
if you get the chance? It should fix the proxies definitions not
showing up for auto-loaded plugins issue.

Try a simple plugin (eg point sprite). when autoloaded and a connection is made - fail - when manually loaded afterwards - ok - can you duplicate that? yes ?
