[vtkusers] Trackball style ('t') interaction with QVTKRenderWindowInteractor behaves strange

I've now found older reports of this on this list, and turns out it was a
Qt 5 bug:

    https://codereview.qt-project.org/#/c/126136/

It's fixed in 5.6, but we're basing our product on Kubuntu 16.04. Is there
nothing that can be done on the VTK or application side to work around this
on the buggy Qt versions?

Is anyone else in the same boat?
