It worked before the 10.5.7 Mac OS X update. At that time, I was using
an older version of X11 from several months back. I'm sorry but I don't
remember the exact version number but I'm sure it predated 2.3.2. I
decided to update as much as I could at that time, including X11 to
2.3.3.2 but nothing was fixed.
Since my first email, I took a closer look at the 10.5.7 update and
noticed that it included an update for the nvidia drivers. Most likely,
this update is the source of the problem but it's not clear to me
whether the incompatibility is coming from X11, GTK, or VTK. If you
have insights on that, or know how to revert the nvidia driver on a Mac,
it would be a great help. I'm on a Mac book pro with an nvidia GeForce
8600M GT.
Thanks

Dear X11 Users,
After the latest Mac update, I noticed a bug with rendering vtk data
embedded in gtk windows. If I try to render a vtkVolume and a
vtkActor, the vtkVolume is not displayed. This does not happen if
the vtk window is not embedded in a gtk window. It also doesn't
happen when using the same versions of vtk and gtk on a under Linux
with a Linux display. It does happen if I ssh to a Linux box and
display on the Mac, which is why I suspect that X11 is a part of the
bug. (I was unable to check whether the bug appeared when running on
a Mac but displaying in Linux as this resulted in a bus error.)
Here are the details of the latest Mac updates
2009-06-09 13:14:35 -0400: Installed "Digital Camera Raw
Compatibility Update" (2.6)
2009-06-09 13:14:50 -0400: Installed "AirPort Utility Software Update
2009-002" (5.4.2)

2009-06-09 13:15:49 -0400: Installed "iTunes" (8.2.0)
2009-06-09 13:15:53 -0400: Installed "iLife Support" (9.0.3)
2009-06-09 13:16:07 -0400: Installed "iDVD Update" (7.0.4)
2009-06-09 13:18:54 -0400: Installed "Mac OS X Update" (10.5.7)
2009-06-09 13:19:26 -0400: Installed "QuickTime" (7.6.2)
The relevant version info is:
X11 2.3.3.2
VTK 5.0.4.3 (fink package vtk-py25)
GTK 2.16.2-2 (also installed with fink)
pygtk 2.12.1-5 (also from fink)
Python 2.5 (fink package number 1:2.5.4-1)
I've posted test scripts, data, and pictures here:

Any insights are greatly appreciated!
