It is possible to add a SetNextWindowInfo method to the
vtkXOpenGLRenderWindow class but the question is will this be a cross
platform solution or an X-only solution?  How would you achieve
re-parenting under Win32 or Mac OS X?  Or is that already possible to
do?  In any case I think since vtkXOpenGLRenderWindow already provides
a SetNextWindowId method, adding a SetNextWindowInfo should be fine.

The other issue is that VTK is due for a 4.2 release shortly and I am
not sure making this addition at this time is a good idea (although I
don't see it introducing any new problems).  So maybe after the 4.2
release this can be added?

Nothing really.  In this case I think the change should be fairly easy
to make.  You just need to get the attention of one of the
developers. :)

The wxVTKRenderWindow class and the Interactor class are not perfect.
Fixes are most welcome. :)
