I thought about doing this at first but this was so ugly that I was 
happy you gave me the ErrorEvt trick, I prefer to forget debug messages...

I was calling DebugOn() on the vtkFileOutputWindow instance, was it the 
good way to turn global debug on ?

Also did everything possible without any success.

Catching errors with a vtkFileOutputWindow ErrorEvt is working perfectly 
and is enough for what I need, I don't even specify any file and it works !

I didn't find any JIRA for activiz to report the problem, do you think I 
should really make a new thread in the mailing list for it or this 
thread will be read by devs ?

Regards.
