[vtkusers] Using QVTKWidget

I usually use Motif as my GUI of choice, but I wanted to try Qt and the
new QVTKWidget. However, the interface seems to be very different than
the Motif one.
For instance, in Motif, I create a
_iren = vtkXRenderWindowInteractor::New ();
and then do a:
extern XtAppContext application_context;
((vtkXRenderWindowInteractor *) _iren)->Initialize
(application_context);
_iren->Enable ();
and a new Window is drawn and I can interact with it.
On Qt, this interface does not seem to work. Is there a better way of
doing this in Qt? What is unique (maybe) about what I do is I let VTK
create the window for me. I am not trying to embed the drawing into an
existing application. My main application is just the buttons of the
interface, in both Qt and Motif.
Is there an example program that might show how to do this? The reason
why the existing ones do not help is that they all assume the window is
embedded in the GUI.
Thanks,
Joey
