Did you try:

It is probably bettter than the widget in VTK-4.2. VTK-CVS was
already frozen when I proposed my changes and I had to fight
very hard to get it in.
I got a bug report after my changes went into CVS, I fixed it
and this is the result. If it helps you, feel free to send
it to the VTK developers. 

Of the two PyQt widgets, this one is the best.
