[vtkusers] Repainting problem with QVTKWidget

[Moreland, Kenneth]

Ruoyun,

I doesn't look like you changed much in paintEvent() except erasing the
window, which is then immediately drawn over.  Did the change in
paintEvent() really do anything, or was it turning on the image cache?

Perhaps the problem is that a render within a paintEvent() is not
working for some reason.  Qt 4 is a moving target right now, so it's not
very well supported by QVTKWidget.  Unless you want to bleed a little,
you may want to consider moving back down to Qt 3.3.  That works fine
for me.
