No, but that's the reason I pursued this path.

I assumed there were more Carbon dependencies in paraview, it looks like it
may be just the progress bar, but I'm familiar with vtk/Qt, and I have a
working client for smaller datasets, so I'd rather not learn Views and
representations more than I have to.

Can I use vtkClientServerMoveData? Can I use
SelectionDeliveryRepresentationProxy? It looks like qt 4.5 will solve this
for my mac clients, but I need to figure this out eventually, because we
aren't going to Vista so the poor 32 bit windows machines will need the help
of the linux box in the basement.
