Ah, that's good to know. I believe when I was having the problem, I was
working through Python, so was using QVTKRenderWindowInteractor (or maybe
my own similar class), which is yet another thing (QVTKWidget / QVTKWidget2
are not wrapped).

Glad it worked out anyway. Nowadays I'm using C++ and QVTKWidget2 too.
