[Paraview] Bug 0006714: pvbatch requires X server

[Iain Bethune]

However, I do still get the problem mentioned earlier in the thread where
there is a spurious message about the processes failing to open an X
connection, even when --use-offscreen-rendering is specified.

I had a look for the VTK_USE_X setting but there's not one in my
CMakeCache.txt, so I'm not sure what to change to get this to work.

Any thoughts?

Works for me too.  Of course now I have the problem that with the server
compiled from CVS, it now won't connect back to my 3.2.1 Windows client...

When is the next stable version going to be released so I can get a matching
Windows binary?

Cheers

Cool. I'll commit the patch to CVS.
