[Paraview] vtkPVSysnchronizedRenderWindows + Splitted views

[Stephan Rogge]

Nikhil, no problem :)

Bill, that undocked window would be a nice feature.

Having your attention I guess there is another bug when running in  
CAVE mode: I was not able to use the multi-server and CAVE mode at the  
same time. Connecting one client to a pvserver session works but PV  
crashes immediately after connecting a second PV client to that session.

Best reagrds,
Stephan

Concur -- I'd never tried a split window while using the VR plugin.

I asked about that a while ago and I was told that it would only be a basic
change to the parameters to the panels in Qt, so could in theory be done
with a pretty basic code change to ParaView -- but I didn't pursue it
beyond that.
