Re: Quartz Composer "pausing" when opening/closing a menu

Just a guess: the standard Carbon event loop makes sure to call
MoviesTask when a movie view is playing, and MoviesTask calls the QC
"codec" to give it time to render a task.  The timer that Cocoa supplies
for QCView, however, doesn't get called while menus are down or widgets
are being flipped, so the composition pauses.

Again, it's just a guess.  Compositions don't render themselves; someone
has to call renderAtTime.  QuickTime (through MoviesTask) takes care of
that for compositions in movies.  Who does it for QCView?
