Summary	0004377: Setting mode on vtkMRMLInteractionNodeSingleton programmatically does not work when doing fresh start of Slicer
Description	I would like to change the interaction node programmatically but it doesn't work when I do a fresh start of Slicer.
Steps To Reproduce	Restart Slicer Enter the following code into the python console: interactionNode = slicer.mrmlScene.GetNodeByID("vtkMRMLInteractionNodeSingleton") interactionNode.SetCurrentInteractionMode(interactionNode.Place) You will notice that the menu button for setting fiducials is not checked Now manually check AND uncheck this button by clicking try again with code from 2. You will notice that it works in the end.
