[vtkusers] Using QVTKWidget

[Joey Mukherjee]

Ok, I figured out my problem.  I was foolishly setting the DisplayId 
which I need for Motif.  ifdef'ing those out made the program work 
correctly.

Two comments:

1) Setting the size of my render window and then setting the 
QVTKWidget's render window to my render window causes the size 
information to be lost.  Possibly this is by design, but I feel like 
doing a  _renWin->SetSize (600, 600); should make my QVTKWindow 600 x 
600.  Right now I also have a setMinimumSize.

2)  Maybe the show/exec could be encapsulated in an Enable call so it 
would be more like a RenderWindowInteractor.

My current code is:

#ifdef _QT_
         _qvtk = new QVTKWidget ();
         _qvtk->setMinimumSize (600, 600);
         _qvtk->SetRenderWindow (_renWin);
         _qvtk->show ();
#endif

Everything looks good to me!

Thanks to all who responded!
