the mechanics of writing over fullscreen

Hello,

I'm trying to write a floating window over a full sreen display (keynote presentation). After searching the archives, the best solution seems to be CGShieldingWindowLevel(). So, I call the following after the presentation goes into fullscreen...

[aSmallWindow setLevel:CGShieldingWindowLevel()];	

when I'm done with the floating window, I call...

[aSmallWindow orderOut:self];

On some machines, this works fine. On other machines, the window image stays on the screen until the person moves to the next slide (i.e. does a redraw).

Is there something I should call to force a redraw? I can't figure out why there would be different behavior on different machines. Is there a better way to draw above a fullscreen mode? Perhaps there is something with the floating window being faster/slower than the main window going into fullscreen? hmmmm.

Thanks for any thoughts,

Jaime Magiera
