[Paraview] Question about adding Widget to property panel

[David E DeMarle]

Make sure to expose that in the proxy definition that contains the
P3DReaderCore proxy definition too.
ie, look further down in readers.xml and you will find
    <SourceProxy class="vtkFileSeriesReader"
                 file_name_method="SetQFileName"
                 label="PLOT3D Reader"
                 name="P3DReader"
                 si_class="vtkSIMetaReaderProxy">
...
      <SubProxy>
        <Proxy name="Reader"
               proxygroup="internal_sources"
               proxyname="P3DReaderCore"></Proxy>
        <ExposedProperties>
          <Property name="FileName" />
...
          <Property name="ForceRead" />
add this
          <Property name="Gamma" />
...
        </ExposedProperties>
      </SubProxy>
