[Anka Kochanowska]

Hi!
One that I found was in vtkImagePlaneWidget, the actions were renamed:

from:
  enum
  {
    CURSOR_ACTION       = 0,
    SLICE_MOTION_ACTION = 1,
    WINDOW_LEVEL_ACTION = 2
  };
to:
  enum
  {
    VTK_CURSOR_ACTION       = 0,
    VTK_SLICE_MOTION_ACTION = 1,
    VTK_WINDOW_LEVEL_ACTION = 2
  };

(As I build with both, vtk5.0 and 5.1 I have to use #if 
((VTK_MAJOR_VERSION == 5 && VTK_MINOR_VERSION > 0)))

Also  there is no  vtkActor::RenderTranslucentGeometry(...), you have to 
replace it  with correct version,  I use
vtkActor::RenderTranslucentPolygonalGeometry(...)
