[vtkusers] Cone6.cxx vtkBoxWidget memory leak

[Luca Picello]

Thank you Drew,
you are right. Now the cone6 example runs without any problem.

Another cleanup I've found and maybe resolved for the community is in 
\Common\vtkAbstractMapper.cxx

void vtkAbstractMapper::SetClippingPlanes(vtkPlanes *planes)
{
  vtkPlane *plane;
  if (!planes)
    {
    return;
    }

  int numPlanes = planes->GetNumberOfPlanes();

  this->RemoveAllClippingPlanes();
  for (int i=0; i<numPlanes && i<6; i++)
    {
    plane = planes->GetPlane(i);
    this->AddClippingPlane(plane);
    plane->Delete();    // <-- Added
    }
}
