Ok, this works!  Thanks; however, I am having one other problem.  After drawing, 
I can no longer use my menus because the Fl_vtk_Window has corrupted the fl_xid 
or something.  Could this be because I let the Fl_vtk_Window create the window 
for me?  Have you seen this error:

X_CreateWindow: BadMatch (invalid parameter attributes) 0x37
X_ChangeProperty: BadWindow (invalid Window parameter) 0x700011e
X_ChangeProperty: BadWindow (invalid Window parameter) 0x700011e
X_ChangeProperty: BadWindow (invalid Window parameter) 0x700011e
X_ChangeProperty: BadWindow (invalid Window parameter) 0x700011e
X_ChangeProperty: BadWindow (invalid Window parameter) 0x700011e
X_ChangeProperty: BadWindow (invalid Window parameter) 0x700011e
X_ChangeProperty: BadWindow (invalid Window parameter) 0x700011e
X_MapWindow: BadWindow (invalid Window parameter) 0x700011e

I get this if I try to bring up any of my menus or even the file_open dialog.  
Naturally, everything works as long as I don't draw.

Any ideas?
