[vtkusers] MangledMesa & VTK

I've been using MangledMesa with VTK (5.0.1) for quite a while now with
pretty good success, but I ran into an issue where I couldn't get
vtkTextActor's to display in the resulting displays at all.

So I upgraded to a newer VTK hoping this was fixed (Paraview-2-6 branch) and
recompiled everything.  Now my resulting renderings are completely blank.  I
did have some issues with getting it to compile as it seems a few of the
files in the Rendering directory have desynced between the vtkMesa* and
vtkOpenGL* versions.  I manually resynced them (Just had to copy some
function definitions in the .h files over) and it compiled.

So my question is a 2 parter:
1) Anyone know how to get TextActors to work with the 5.0.1 VTK?  Was there
a known bug around that time that's been fixed, or is there some new option
that must be enabled to get it to work?
2) How to I get MangledMEsa to work in the newer VTK releases?  Right now
i'm getting either blank or random-garbage displays.
