[Ves] Transparency

[David Thompson]

Thanks, Joachim. That fixed it.

Is there a good place for me to document this? (Would a doxygen comment for vesKiwiPolyDataRepresentation::setColor() and/or vesMapper::setColor() be appropriate?)

Is this a bug or am I responsible for doing something special with the scene graph (and if so, what)?
