The recognized 3d widget sub-panels that get embeded in an object panel are 
hardcoded in ParaView.  I had to make my own object panel to get my 3d widget 
sub-panels to show up, and you could do the same.  The hardcoding probably 
needs to be removed and replaced with something that allows customizing.
