[vtkusers] vtkRenderWindowInteractor initialization creates new Window on Suse Linux

[Peter Eipert]

Thanks for your anwser but my problem is, that i want to add a 
vtkOrientationMarkerWidget with a vtkAxesActor. So if I just add the 
vtkAxesActor to my renderer the widget is not used to fix the coord 
cross on the screen. To use the vtkAxesActor with the 
vtkOrientationMarkerWidget I have to do the following steps:

vtkAxesActor axesActor=new vtkAxesActor();
vtkOrientationMarkerWidget axesWidget=new vtkOrientationMarkerWidget();
axesWidget.SetOrientationMarker(axesActor);
axesWidget.SetInteractor(axesInteractor);

In the last line I need a vtkRenderWindowInteractor and 
GetRenderWindow().GetInteractor() does not work because it is null.

I'm not sure if there is a way to add the widget to the renderWindow 
without creating a vtkRenderWindowInteractor.
