[vtkusers] vtkImagePlaneWidget crashes after a second load of data

[Flo]

Hi Dean,

Thanks for the work around, it works perfectly well.

I'd like to change this behavior from vtkImagePlaneWidget. Can you  
throw me some idea on where/what to change ?
I'll implement them and then share the code as soon as it will be  
operational (as to my understanding it will thus be easier in the  
future to integrate this wonderful widget in other programs).

Thanks again.
Flo.
