[vtkusers] running python from the interpreter

[Eduardo Suarez]

I have seen the changes in QVTKRenderWindowInteractor.py and it works 
much better. However,

[otto:python_itk_vtk/ 510]$ python
Python 2.3.5 (#2, Feb  9 2005, 00:38:15)
[GCC 3.3.5 (Debian 1:3.3.5-8)] on linux2
Type "help", "copyright", "credits" or "license" for more information.
 >>> import QVTKRenderWindowInteractor
 >>> QVTKRenderWindowInteractor.QVTKRenderWidgetConeExample()

When i press 'q', the windows freezes and the interpreter is released. 
But the windows is still there. Is this the normal behavior? If i kill 
the window, the interpreter dies.

On the other hand, isn't there changes to vtkRenderWindow?

Thanks a lot for your help,
-Eduardo
