[vtkusers] Problem when displaying more than one transparent object

[Thomas Obenaus]

Oh thank you, that is the solution for my problem.

But I have to add that I get some flickering if the transparent objects
intersect each other. That is caused by the fact that the
vtkDepthSortPolyData filter uses SetDepthSortModeToFirstPoint by default.
This may be the fastest one but in my application I get better results (no
flickering) when I use SetDepthSortModeToBoundsCenter.

Regards,
Thomas.
