[vtkusers] How to generate TimerEvents

[Jeff Lee]

I am working on spiffing up vtkPanel with vtkGenericInteractor 
capability - it allows you to use any vtkInteractorStyle and 3d widgets 
as well.  It also contains protection from java's multithreading which 
is what you are experiencing now.  I'll notify when it is ready. 
 Basically, you can't call vtkRenderWindowInteractor.Render() 
arbitrarily like that in java - it must be wrapped with appropriate 
mutex locks to avoid the asynchronous errors in X.
