Why don't you just create a new vtkInteractorStyle class?  For instance,
you could inherit from the vtkInteractorStyleTrackballActor and simply
prevent the PAN mode from being entered, or the Pan() method from being
called.

This seems far simpler than what you're doing, unless I'm
misunderstanding something.
