[vtkusers] Nonblocking vtkRenderWindowInteractor

[Clinton Stimpson]

In general, it isn't thread safe.  You can search the mailing list 
archives for lots of previous discussions about threading, and how to 
included and use vtk in a threaded application.

I don't know what you are trying to accomplish, but sometimes threading 
is an unnecessary and more difficult alternative to using timers or 
writing your own event loop that handles window events plus other stuff 
(console input, sockets, etc...).  Timers are easy, and I can provide 
samples of the latter for Windows, Unix, and Mac, or post them somewhere.
