What’s _theMatrix’s frame? It could either have an origin that puts it at the 
top, or it could draw its content in its upper-left and have a size that fills 
the superview, or its superview could return YES from -isFlipped.

See -[NSView isFlipped].

No, it’s the window’s private NSThemeFrame, or nil if the window is borderless. 
Windows and screens are not views.

Flippedness does not cascade; every NSView’s bounds coordinate system is 
independent. If a view returns NO from -isFlipped, then drawing at (0,0) in 
that view’s bounds will always draw at the lower left of that view, regardless 
of whether any ancestors return YES from -isFlipped.
