[Paraview] parallel rendering problem

Thanks Berk. Overlap was the problem, and rearranging the windows solves the
issue although this is obviously not  convenient (at best) on same machine
server/client configuration.

And thanks Kent. The good news is (at least with my configuration)
--use-off-screen works perfectly.

How can I make sure that I fully utilize the GPUs on the system? (both
graphics cards are identical each with dual head). And if for this I need to
fall back to not using off screen, can you hint a bit on setting up
$DISPLAY? Do I need to run multiple X servers for this?
