[vtkusers] iMac build issues VTK_USE_X

[Brickle Macho]

Thanks David and Wes.

VTK has compiled and installed with out any errors.  I will test some
test programs later, making sure I manually start the X server.   Having
blind faith in the process I am building PCL+Visualization against the
new VTK install.   The VTK issue/error appears to have disappeared.

Thanks again.

Michael.
