Yep that is to be expected. ParaView needs a GL renderer for the annotation layer (manta doesn't do text for example), but the vtkMantaRenderer can not (so far) share a vtkRenderWindow with a GLRenderer. For this reason we have to do the manta rendering on the server and deliver the pixels to the client. Until we upgrade vtkManta's architecture, you can only work around the problem by doing things like setting up the server do pure offscreen rendering.
The few docs that exist are all online. See the Manta web page, the code and http://www.kitware.com/products/html/RenderedRealismAtNearlyRealTimeRates.html for example. David E DeMarle Kitware, Inc.
