[Paraview] paraview 4.1 and greater not getting slice representation on remote logins

[Kate Fissell]

Hi,

On Paraview versions 4.1 and greater if I ssh -X from a Centos machine 
into an Ubuntu
graphics server to run Paraview I have a problem with viewing images.

I load the AnalyzeNifTIIO plugin, and load a nifti image, and I believe 
it loads correctly.
I get the wireframe, the Information panel gives the correct 
cells/point.  If I change to
Slice representation the view window stays blank.  Volume representation 
is fine, I get the
3D rendering.
Same thing if I load a vti format of the data, no slice view.

This happens when I ssh from a Centos machine, it does not happen when I 
ssh from
an Ubuntu machine.   In both cases I believe I am using glx to do the 
rendering locally,
not doing a setenv DISPLAY to ship the rendered picture over the net.
It is the same glx version on the Ubuntu and Centos machine, but they 
have different
graphics cards.

In Paraview ParaView-v4.0.1 I do not have this problem.
I have the problem in Paraview-4.1, 4.2, 4.3.

I am using your pre-compiled binaries as test, but I have the same problem
with my compilation.

Do you know what changed from ParaView-v4.0.1 to ParaView-v4.1 that 
would cause
this or what the workaround is ?

thanks
