[Paraview] Correctly Parallel Processing of OpenFoam results using pvserver

[David E DeMarle]

Looping the list back in to the thread.

Look on the properties panel when you open the file and before you hit
"Apply" look for a chooser for "Case Type". The default is "Reconstructed
Case" so change it to "Decomposed Case".
