vtkRenderWindow doesn't support this kind of reparenting.  With some
changes to the VTK code (basically creating a SetNextWindow{Info,Id}
abstract call in the base vtkRenderWindow, implementing it in all
specialisations and making sure that their WindowRemap() calls honour
the NextWindowId ivar, which is currently only true for X OpenGL and
Win32 OpenGL) it could be done.

However, it's probably easier for you to create a new wxVTKRenderWindow
in the new panel, add the vtkRenderer(s) of the old RWI to it and then
destroy the old wxVTKRenderWindow.  Note that I haven't tested this.

Good luck,
Charl
