[Paraview] Export scene creates images without actual object

[Armin Wehrfritz]

IIRC there was problem with "Export Scene" and the new OpenGL2 backend.
This has been discussed on the mailing-list several times, see e.g.:
https://www.mail-archive.com/paraview@paraview.org/msg25912.html

Hope this helps!
