Yes, I've tried that. I've tried every method that forces a display in every 
possible view, and no luck. I guess that -display doesn't really, really mean 
that it will be displayed when called, I think that it forces a display when 
the run loop gets to the part were it would refresh the views, and merely makes 
the view be displayed even if no changes have occured that would cause it to be 
automatically redisplayed.
