[Paraview] parallel and transparency

[Takuya OSHIMA]

I am not sure if exactly same, but had a very similar rendering
problem with multiple overlapped opacity-mapped surfaces on
4.1.0. Turning on Use Immediate Mode Rendering in the Render View
settings solved the problem on my Mac. Now, I checked on a Windows to
make sure that it was a cross-platform workaround but it didn't
work. Anyway, you might give it a try if you still have not.
