The old strategy of switching a transparent window to solid and back
doesn't work on 10.11; it appears that queued messages must be handled
for the window to become visible, but that's not allowed during a GC.
The strategy for 10.11 and up create an OpenGL canvas, which acts as a
direct-to-screen drawing area that a GC callback can affect without
Racket-level allocation.
