Unfortunately, yes. That happens because Allegro gets sent several  
resize messages in one go. What we probably should do (in ex_resize2)  
is to see how many resize events there are in the queue and then drop  
all but the last one.

Ah, didn't mention that. I tried that and it did nothing. Note that  
the window does take mouse input, which is double strange.
The [window set ContentView: [window contenView]] line really is an  
ugly hack. The keyboard keeps working correctly if you pull that, but  
then the graphics are screwed up. :(

Ok, thanks. I'll fix that. If you've seen some of my earlier patches,  
I had to do it there because I had to store some extra stuff before I  
figured out how to do it without needing to do that. :)
