[vtkusers] questions about renderwindow size

[David Gobbi]

Hi Lin,

Calling Render() should not change the window size, and in fact if it did,
then many of the nightly VTK tests would fail.  This means that there must
be something different about your computer as compared to the computers
that are used to test VTK.  So, the more information that you can provide
about your system, the better!

1) What operating system are you using (be as specific as possible)?
2) What version of VTK are you using?
3) What size did GetSize() return?  The exact numbers can be useful
  in figuring out what is causing the problem.
4) If possible, run "ctest" to test your VTK for other problems.
