VTK 5.2 and GL2PS export

[Jonathan Stickel]

I reinstalled vtk5 with the +x11 variant, and now the vtk rendering 
library is linked to

/opt/local/lib/libGL.1.dylib

However, I still have the same problem of textActors not exporting. 
Labels on axes export fine, though.  I suppose this could be reported 
upstream to VTK.  Maybe I'll try vtk-devel (vtk-5.4) when I have some 
more time and see if the problem persists.
