[vtkusers] Cocoa, Python, VTK and wx embedded window problems

[John Donker]

The error is in the terminal window. You can clearly see that there  
two windows. One is the actual wx window (below) and the other is the  
rendering by VTK. The wx window responds to events. (example: if you  
resize the wx window the opengl window resizes too)
