I'm glad you're happy. ;)

As always, there is no best way.

I create a class in Fluid that contains all the visual elements, including
the containing window and the vtkFLRWI.  In my C++ code, I have another
class that instantiates the Fluid-created class and controls it.  This way
is flexible and keeps the UI code and program logic nice and separate.
