went back and looked at the code and you are of course correct
(forgive me as it's been a number of years).

the problem was that NSOpenGLContext doesn't create a GL context until
it's been set to a view, leading us to intialize much of the graphics
engine/upload textures during awakeFromNib, and having a blank view
until that is finished, this may/may not have changed in the time
since, not sure.
