I actually got it to happen in the viewer window this time.
It really looks like as if no enough VRAM was left for Quartz
Composer. Try quitting all other running programs and make sure you
don't have any external screen connected to your laptop, then
relaunch QC and see if that still happens.
I've killed everything but mail and Finder, and got it to happen
again. The thing I'm most curious about it why does reloading it
correct the problem. Clearly, if it works the second time, it must
have had enough VRAM to render.
Where would I find messages saying that I was running out of VRAM?
