[vtkusers] vtkPicker returned actor

[David Gobbi]

Hi Lonni,

Give me a quick overview of your pipeline, because currently your
explanation doesn't quite make sense.  For example, you say that
GetMapperPosition() returns x,y but it should return x,y,z.  What
mapper are you using?  I don't yet have enough info to give you an
answer.
