Dear Maintainer,
at work I ran into a nasty problem with vtk 5.6: Using the
wxVTKRenderWindowInteractor lead to segmentation faults. I did not use
the Debian package, but it seems this problem is unpatched at
git://git.debian.org/git/collab-maint/vtk.git

The attached patch is from upstream's git repository but was not
included in 5.6 as it seems. Please consider applying it.
Greetings, Torsten

Fix crashing wxVTKRenderWindowInteractor on Linux
BUG: Fixing a segfault with recent versions of VTK after Feb 5, 2010.
The specific checkin that caused this is
cc83e73b7f0efff98441d8b9640d34c86321578c. This patch changed the way
swig mangled pointers were checked from Python and that broke the
GetDisplayId method of wxVTKRenderWindowInteractor which caused the
segfault.
