The app loads successfully, capturing the screen and rendering to a fullscreen openGL context. However, it also can create NSWindows and show these fullscreen instead. This functionality is just not working. I suspect this is a connection to the window server issue, but I have failed to find any similar issues reported on the net, or find the answer in TN2083 (not to say it isn't in there).

That's weird.  I haven't seen any reports of this and I can't think of any reason this would fail.

I'd recommend you open up a DTS tech support incident so that someone (perhaps me) can investigate this in depth.
