hi marcel,
in my opinion, there are four packages:

* VTKandQT from Jan Stifter (me):
  http://www.medres.ch/~jstifter/vtkandqt/
* vtkqgl from Jan Erhardt: 
  http://www.medinf.mu-luebeck.de/~ehrhardt/vtkQGL/vtkQGL.html 
* vtkgql (same name but different package) from M. P. Pagey:
  http://pagey.penguinpowered.com/~pagey/Software/vtkQGL/ 
* vtkqt from Matthias Koenig:
  http://isgwww.cs.uni-magdeburg.de/~makoenig/vtkqt.html

This is no problem with my package. you can take a
RenderWindowInteractor, in which you have signals/slots mechanism of
qt.
