[vtkusers] interrupt the vtkRenderWindowInteractor?

[Steven.Aston at tessella.com]

Jeff,

Thanks for the response.  Would I be right in thinking that a vtkPanel
would simplify matters? If I didn't want to use a vtkPanel for the time
being, do you have any suggestions for the original problem?

It has been packaged properly in the cvs version of vtk, and in the
soon-to-be release version 4.2.
