0006289: VTK XML readers set Global IDs as int rather than idType
The VTK XML file formats support Global IDs, and the readers assign them, but they do so as "int" type rather than "idtype".
In ParaView you can load box.ex2, then save as *.vtu file. It is clear in the vtu file that Global IDs have been set. When this file is read back in, the GlobalIds are listed as "int".
 In ParaView this causes Global IDs to not function properly, and can lead to crashes in some cases. Functionality can be restored by manually setting Global IDs as vtkIdType within the Python Programmable Filter. See ParaView3 bug report 0006240
