[vtkusers] Depth peeling not used, but I can't see why.

OK, now I've realised you can get some debug output with a standard build
using the DebugOn() method in the right objects, I've determined that in my
QVTKWidget, there are zero alpha bits, which is why depth peeling is not
used (note that AlphaBitPlanes is definitely set). I'm trying to find out
how to resolve this, but perhaps someone has already come across this
problem and sorted it out?
