Hi Kent,

Please see my comments interspersed through your e-mail.

Sorry for the confusion. Read the next sentence on p. 244:
"Only the type name of the associated server manager property (i.e., the 
server manager property's class name with "vtkSM" removed) will be 
listed as a */description /*of the property attribute for each widget." 
(emphasis added)

The *value *of the property attribute "...must match that of the name 
attribute of the corresponding server manager property." 
IntVectorProperty, DoubleVectorProperty, etc. are listed to show you 
what type of server manager property this widget uses.

That's a typo and should be corrected.  I'll fix it.
