[vtkusers] Interaction with the Actor

[Kerry Loux]

Actually, taking a look at the code for the interactor style, it looks like
the right way to do that would be to create a subclass and create new
functions for the interactions that I want to override.  Is it really that
simple?

Thanks for the help!
