[Trilinos-Users] Belos/Eptra: Seeding RNG

[Nico Schlömer]

I'm just worried that Seed() is not doing what its name suggests, namely
seeding the RNG. It appears to merely return the seed value, in which case
all the
```
X->Seed();
```
calls are utterly useless. The fixes would have to go into Belos.
