[vtkusers] wxPython+Cocoa+VTK?

[David Gobbi]

Hi Scott,

It's good to hear that it is working.  You should get in touch with the
people who added the WindowRemap() calls to the code (just look through the
git history for their emails).  You might be able to work with them to
create a fix that works for everyone.
