Vizkit is using its own 3d Widget to display the 3d plugins as it does 
not know that the custom
gui has already one. Unfortunately there is currently no nice way to 
tell vizkit to use the one from a custom gui. But nevertheless you can 
force it by adding the following statement after you
required vizkit in your ruby script.

Vizkit.instance_variable_set(:@vizkit3d_widget,your_gui.your_vizkit3d_widget)
