[vtkusers] Problem adding actor to a renderer

[Roger Blum]

Hi Goodwin,

Unfortunately it's a proprietary application with > 15000 lines of Tcl 
code. Extracting the problematic part isn't easy and I'm not sure if 
writing a special test script would cause the same problem, as it used 
to work the way it is set up.
I will post a test script if I'm able to reproduce the problem.

Thanks,
Roger
