hmmm, it's been a while since I've looked at that code... let's see... I
subclassed vtkCocoaGLView and added this method:

- (void)finalInit
{
	ren = vtkRenderer::New();
	renWin = vtkRenderWindow::New();
	renWinInt = vtkRenderWindowInteractor::New();
	
	renWin->SetWindowId([self window]);
	renWin->SetDisplayId(self);
	
	renWin->AddRenderer(ren);
	renWinInt->SetRenderWindow(renWin);
	
 [self setVTKRenderWindow:(vtkCocoaRenderWindow*)renWin];

	renWinInt->Initialize();
}

Then in my NSDocument subclass's windowControllerDidLoadNib I call
[theVTKView finalInit].  The above code is very important, and is needed
to set everything up.

I hope this info clears things up.  Maybe next week I'll create a simple
sample Xcode project to share with everyone.
