[vtkusers] RenderWindow question...

[N Smethurst]

Hi again..

I am developing a KDE application that uses VTK, and KDE only runs on
X-Windows, so does this mean I can use vtkXOpenGLRenderWindow directly?
Are there any necessary methods/attributes that are called/created at
creation/destruction that would be missed out if the superclass is not used?

Thanks for the advice..

Nick
