[vtkusers] Overlaping view props in a rendered

[Gerrick Bivins]

Hey Sarah,
vtkDepthSortPolyData may be of interest to you.

http://www.vtk.org/doc/nightly/html/classvtkDepthSortPolyData.html
(I think it's in vtk 5.2 as well)

I recently had transparency issues and had to use it ( eventually used depth
peeling instead because it worked better).
