Thanks for the help. I finally got things working. I ended up doing  
close to what you were doing above. I ended up implementing the  
constructor initWithFrame() and did the first part of your code in  
there. Then added the "finalInit" method for the second half.

Thanks again for the help. Now back to the vtkConnectivityFilter  
problem.
