Short answer: you cannot mix AppKit with a captured screen. (I'm assuming your floating window is some instance of NSWindow and the full-screen presentation your talking about has already captured the screen with the CG API calls)

If the display has already been captured, you'll need to do drawing yourself onto it.

Would you mind to elaborate a little bit? I have a shipping (single window) kiosk app that captures the main screen and does some Frontrow-esque stuff in the main NSWindow (with a dynamically changing set of NSViews subclasses)... It's in a "controlled environment", but none of the four test machine-types had any problems besides the coordinate system that does not get reset instantly after changing the resolution....
