[vtkusers] vtkRenderWindow Stereo Render fullscreenON does not work

[Sergio Aguirre]

Hi everyone

This is very confusing. I have VTK-5.6.1 running on a Win 7 32 bit system
with a Samsung 2233RZ (1680x1050) monitor and an Nvidia QuadroFX 3700.

For some reason VTK will not render in Stereo with StereoType = Crystal Eyes
in full screen. It only renders 1 view. Unless the render window resolution
is set to 1680x976 or lower.

I just tested my machine by implementing a test application to render Stereo
in full screen using only openGL and it renders stereo with no problem.

The only thing that has me doubting is that I configured VTK with GUI
support using QT, still I would not see why this could influence rendering
stereo in full screen, being that my app for now does not even use QT.

My question is, I expect VTK to render stereo full screen to at least
1920x1080 if you have the hardware, which I do. What could be stooping vtk?

Any ideas on further testing?
