[Openmcl-devel] Core Animation demo fails under OSX 10.6

[Neil Baylis]

Another data point:

For grins,I decided to try building my CALayer code into some other demo
that works under 10.6. I chose Ron Garret's scribble demo (attached as
xxx.lisp).

I simply inserted the call to #/setWantsLayer at line 84. This causes Ron's
demo to behave similarly to mine, in that the view is no longer rendered.
All you get is a blank window. Comment out that line, and it works as
expected. My demo is structured similarly to Ron's and at the corresponding
point, I have the same call.

I do see that the mouse events are honored, and the drawRect delegate is
called, but nothing appears on the screen.

I have no idea what that means yet.
