/**
Manages serialization of user interaction for test-cases, demos, tutorials, etc.
pqEventTranslator installs itself as a global Qt event "filter" that receives notification of every Qt event.  Each event is passed
through a collection of pqWidgetEventTranslator objects, until one of them "handles" the event.  The pqWidgetEventTranslator objects
convert low-level Qt events (mouse move, button down, key released, etc) into high-level ParaView events (button clicked, row selected, etc)
that can be serialized as text.  Once an event translator is found, the recordEvent() signal is emitted with the name of the widget
that is receiving the event, plus the serialized event.  Observers such as pqEventObserverXML connect to the recordEvent() signal and
handle storage of the events.
