[vtkusers] checking visibility of a vtkActor

[Juan Cardelino]

Oh well, it was my bad, I forgot to look up in the hierarchy of
classes, and not only in vtkActor. It is pretty obvious  that this
method should be inherited from vtkProp.
Sorry for the silly question.
Thanks for your help.
Regards,
              Juan
