[vtkusers] [Probably repetitive] Tcl VTK under OSX 10.5.4 mouse/keyboard events?

[Mathieu Malaterre]

Will,

  Can you get the pure C++ example to work nicely ? You might have to
add MACOSX_BUNDLE to the ADD_EXECUTABLE (in the Example CMakeLists.txt
file).

  I do not remember any issue with vtk + tcl example.
