[x3d-public] View3DScene in X3D-edit 4.0 on Linux

[John Carlson]

Michalis, you may want to monitor the bug report for adding view3dscene as
an x3d player in X3D-Edit 4.0 on Linux.  I don’t know if your users use
X3D-Edit or not.   I haven’t dug into why adding view3dscene doesn’t work
yet.   Note that adding freewrl does work, so I’m puzzled.
