"Subject: Maya 2010 running on 10.6.3 workaround for glitchy windows
Hi Mike, I'm running Maya 2010 on a Mac Pro with a GeForce 8800 GT card. I have the same problems as other users when running maya. (re: yesterday's post on Maya 2009/2010 issues w/10.6.3)
What I found fixes them is if you boot Maya from the OpenGL profiler (Developers tool application) and click the "Use custom pixel format" checkbox. Click the "Edit" button next to it and in the new window that pops up, double click "kCGLPFABackingStore" and under the "Value" change it to a "1". Now you can press the Launch button in the main OpenGL Profiler window and Maya should be working OK. It'll behave the way it did before the update to 10.6.3. Hope this helps!
Regards, Chris"

FYI - The reader that reported the problem yesterday sent a note:
