[vtkusers] QVTKWidget signal/slot question

[Clinton Stimpson]

Perhaps moving the mouse in the graphics window to change window level 
skips levels that your QSlider approach doesn't skip.  Are you doing 
tracking with the QSlider with a high number of ticks forcing the render 
window to go through each level?

Consider doing some of the following if you aren't already.
Call QVTKWidget::update() instead of vtkRenderWindow::Render() in your slot.
Reduce the number of ticks on your QSlider to a practical number (for 
example, more ticks than your screen resolution probably isn't a good idea).
Turn tracking off and connect to the valueChanged() signal.

Or maybe its only a compiz related problem like others are warning about.
