[Paraview] bug in ParaView 3.4.0 server

[Utkarsh Ayachit]

Are there any error messages outputted on the server side?
Can you try this:
When connected to the server and looking at the outline (which you say
is rendered fine) go to Edit|Settings. In the Options dialog open up
the "Render View" tree on the left pane and select "Server". There in
the "Remote Rendering Paramaters" group ensure that "Remote Render
Threshold" is set to 0 and checked. Now hit Ok. Does the outline still
render fine? If not I am guess there's some issue with rendering on
the server side.
