[vtkusers] VTK Interactor problem

[Alex Malyushytskyy]

I just want to add thet currently set . vtkInteractorStyle is defining
which events are handled and how.
So subclassing and overriding appropriate functionality is way to go.
Also you can create multiple vtkInteractorStyle and set them active
according to your needs.

Hope this helps.

Alex
