[vtkusers] Problem QVTKWidget using vtkCarbonRenderWindow instead of vtkCocoaRenderWindow

[Michael Jackson]

Elvis,
     What you want to look at is separating the carbon and cocoa code  
into 2 files just like is done with vtkCarbon/CocoaRender Window. Then  
in the QVTKPlugin CMakeLists.txt you can detect if VTK_USE_CARBON or  
VTK_USE_COCOA is enabled and then add that source file to the QVTK  
source file list. Since that mirrors the rest of VTK that seems like  
the appropriate approach.
  After you get things working then submit a bug report and then  
submit your patches to the bug report.

Keep Going.
