What I didn't realize immediately is that doing this:

vtkSmartPointer<vtkInteractorStyle> style = 
vtkSmartPointer<vtkInteractorStyle>::New();
renderWindowInteractor->setInteractorStyle(style);

removes all the vtkInteractor behaviour.  I just want to stop the 
left-button-down-and-mouse-moved effects.
