There is no real reason, except that I was focused on the widget.
It is now part of QVTK, with some minor tweaks.  So you can update from CVS to get it.
Just to be clear, it can be used to connect more than just to QVTKWidget's interactor (as the example illustrates).
It can connect any vtkObject's events to Qt slots.

Thanks,
