Vates Simple GUI: data sources disappear

Description

This happens for me under RHEL6:

  • Open the VSI with a data source, e.g. a MDEventWorkspace.
  • Switch to another desktop workspace using the keyboard shortcuts e.g. Alt+Ctrl+Left / or Alt+Ctrl+Right.
  • Go back to the old desktop.
  • The data source has been deleted and the VSI is empty!

That's an unfortunate side effect of the single application nature of ParaView in order to "reload" the session, I look for when the user drops the window via the X. This results in a hide event that I catch and process. Trouble is, the flipping workspace mechanism in Linux (especially RHEL) also produces a hide event that is indistinguishable. Since I can't tell the difference, there's not much I can do about it.

I think Nick has been going through the "wontfix" tickets so I'll leave it for him...

This is an issue, but unless someone has a suggestion I think we have to accept it as a know issue
