It sounds like [NSWindow flushWindow] isn't getting called. Nothing is sent to the window server until that happens. In a 'normal' Cocoa app, this is taken care of in the event loop but in your case that evidently isn't happening. It might be good enough just to call it at the end of your drawRect: method, but calling it too often hurts performance and, depending on exactly what is being drawn when, can cause 'screen flash'.
