[vtkusers] vtkRenderWindowInteractor.Start() most of time does not open a Window

[François Rongère]

Hi again,

Don't loose your time on that problem: I solved it.

This is the/vtkRenderWindow.FullScreenOn()/ that causes the problem (I 
have made a procedural version of the code by adding iteratively my 
different instructions). So I replaced it by 
/vtkRenderWindow.SetSize(1024, 768)/ and it works everytime. So maybe a 
bug in /FullScreenOn()/. My workstation has 2 screens though...

But it causes me to ask a way of getting the resolution of my screen 
with vtk. Any idea ?

Cheers,
François
