[Paraview] Fwd: Updating Properties Panel

[Utkarsh Ayachit]

Kevin,

Before we discuss how this can be done (or can't be done), let's try
to figure out what we want here.

Is the user ever expected to change "Scene ID", "Object Index" etc.,
the parameters that you are expecting to change their value when the
"Current Object" is changed, or are they just for information purposes
only?
