Hi folks;
  Is anyone else running ParaView 2.0.1 through Chromium?  I am trying to get 
this together on our vis cluster, and there are problems with the ReadPixels 
of the sub-images from the various render servers for compositing (by Ice-T in 
ParaView) to make the whole image.  The sub-images look like they are being 
read back at the wrong resolution, such that adjacent pixels in the rendered 
image are not adjacent in the read-back image.
  I've looked at the images rendered on the individual crservers, and they 
look just great.  This system did work with earlier versions of ParaView 
(specifically 1.6.3), so I've compared the OpenGL calls made by the two 
versions.  The older version reads back images starting at pixel (0,0) and 
including the entire rendered area, while the new version seems to try to save 
bytes by only reading back the parts of the image where it thinks stuff has 
been drawn.  This means that ReadPixels is not done with a corner at (0,0).  
I'm guessing that perhaps there is a problem with ReadPixels of sections of 
the rendered image which do not include that corner.
  Note that my Chromium is not completely up-to-date from the top of the tree. 
 If any corrections have been made to the ReadPixels mechanism since Feb. 21 
they might solve my problem.

Thanks,
-Joel
