I'm not seeing this. If I close the window before starting a new  
instance, the new one seems to work correctly. If I leave the first  
window open and start a new one, then the first one no longer responds  
to mouse events, but is still visible. Can you say exactly what steps  
you perform to generate the error?

I think this message is referring to the layer that's associated with  
the entire view, not the one created by make-ca-layer. It has the same  
bounds as the view does. It's created (I believe) by the call:

(#/setWantsLayer: v #$YES)

What happens if you use the first form (objc:make-objc-instance...)  
without calling #/init on it? (I only put the call to init there  
because I saw it in some sample code from Apple. I'm not sure what  
it's doing.)
