[vtkusers] writing images from window to file in vtk4

I feel this must be an embarrassingly simple question, but...
I'm using vtk4, and I want to write an image out to a file. That means using
vtkWindowToImageFilter and connecting it to an ImageWriter (the PNG one, for
instance).
I write out the file once, fine. I change the scene, write the file again,
I get the same image. The file is getting written, just with the old image.
I've played with adding various calls to "Update","UpdateInformation", and
"ReleaseDataFlagOn/Off", (heck, even "Render"), and I have been unable to get
the image to change after the first render.
Am I missing something obvious here? I can post code if it's non-trivial....
Thanks.
