[vtkusers] Crashes in Java wrapped vtk on linux because of xcb problems

[Luke Dodd]

Hi Clemens,

I'm really happy it's working for you! The fork sounds like a good
idea - keep me updated.

There are also issues with getting anti-aliasing to work on the
LWJGLVTKPanel, I'll look into this soon.

Hopefully out of this hacky solution a "proper" fix for our issues
will arise. If I get some time I'll look into the vtkPanel code again.
I have the feeling that there are many things that could go wrong when
creating an opengl panel in Java, and somewhere along the line vtk
does something subtly wrong (on linux) which using the lwjgl context
bypasses. I'd like to hear for the vtk devs on this, perhaps we're
just doing something silly with vtkPanel...

Best Regards,
Luke Dodd
