Let's keep this on the list, other people might find it useful.

My first solution requires a hammer and a chainsaw, so we'll skip to the
second.  With the vtkImagePlaneWidget in latest CVS (I don't know when
this was added, Dean?), you can do something like:

// ipw is your instance
ipw.SetLeftButtonAction(vtkImagePlaneWidget::SLICE_MOTION_ACTION);

You'll lose cursoring (which is normally your left button).  It seems
you might still be able to do something with the *ButtonAutoModifier
functions, see the vtkImagePlaneWidget header for this.

Good luck,
Charl
