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

[Utkarsh Ayachit]

Kate,

I suspect it's related to this fix:
https://gitlab.kitware.com/paraview/paraview/merge_requests/92

I tested with the latest git/master and it does render correctly in
client-server mode too.

A workaround would be to use the Slice filter instead. It will be a
little slower and more memory intensive than "Slice" representation,
however.
