It's a CAOpenGLLayer, so as far as I can tell CARenderer is not going to help. 
But I'm fine with having a placeholder image, I just wanted to be sure I was 
making it in the right place. The first thing I thought looked promising was 
cacheDisplayInRect:toBitmapImageRep: which is called by NSCollectionView's 
drag, but that just calls drawRect on the top level view.
