[Paraview] Attaching a custom object panel to a filter.

[cunrein at micron.com]

Hello List,

I have downloaded the ParaView-3.4.0 source and have a good build.

I have a custom reader and a custom object panel for the reader, and all is working well.

I also have a custom filter to operate on the reader's output, and it too is working well.

Last, I have a custom object panel for the filter; it inherits, for now, from pqNamedObjectPanel.
I can build it, (generate the .so) and load it into paraview (it is in the Plugin Manager / Local Plugins list).
But my plugin's object panel is not being called.  I get paraview's auto generated panel instead.  My panel's constructor is not getting called.

I found a similar post from 7/2008, but no resolution...

The filter's xml file, the CMakeLists.txt, and panel source code are below.  Anyone have a hint what I am missing or did wrong?

Thanks, Chris
