Update: [cairo] how to interface with an NSWindow (please help!)

[Stephen Sinclair]

I'm not a Mac expert either, but I had a quick look at the
NSGraphicsContext stuff.
I know that OS X does a lot more buffering and off-screen compositing
stuff than Windows XP.
I noticed, for example, that NSGraphicsContext has a function called
flushGraphics:
"Forces any buffered operations or data to be sent to the receiver's
destination."

Have you tried that?
