You can call RemoveObservers on any type of Events in VTK. Remove any 
Event you don't want.

More information:

http://www.vtk.org/doc/nightly/html/classvtkCommand.html
http://www.vtk.org/doc/nightly/html/classvtkRenderWindowInteractor.html
and
http://www.vtk.org/doc/nightly/html/classvtkInteractorStyle.html

(they list all events in the 'Events' section)
