Yup. All 8 MPI processes die with something similar to:

ERROR: In 
/u/jcbecker/ParaView/VTK/Rendering/OpenGL/vtkXOpenGLRenderWindow.cxx, 
line 530
vtkXOpenGLRenderWindow (0x1bf16f0): bad X server connection. DISPLAY=:0. 
Aborting.

If I don't, I get a message on the client that says: Display is not
