Terrific!  VTK-4.4 is worth upgrading to if possible.  In any case, I
forgot that you can also run all the tests in tvtk/tests to make sure
the core functionality works.  I do the following:

 $ cd tvtk/tests
 $ for i in *.py; do echo $i; python $i; done

If you are willing to do a little bit of surgery, just replace that
file (wxVTKRenderWindowInteractor.py), with the latest from here:

http://public.kitware.com/cgi-bin/viewcvs.cgi/Wrapping/Python/vtk/wx/wxVTKRenderWindowInteractor.py?rev=1.17&view=log

Then it should hopefully work provided you have wxPython-2.6.x.

Good luck and please let us know how this goes.
