Help!  I'm stupid.

I have an Application that has a custom View inside a window leaving
a 2 pixel boarder around custom view.  It looks sort of like this:

+------------------+
|                  |
| +--------------+ |<--Window
| |              | |
| |              | |
| | Custom View  | |
| |              | |
| |              | |
| +--------------+ |
|  Content View    |
+------------------+

I have implemented delegate methods -windowDidBecomeMain: and
-windowDidResignMain to draw a 2 pixel wide rectangle in the windows content
view to produce a highlighted border around the Custom View.  A black border
is drawn when the window bocomes main and light gray border is drawn when
the window resigns main.

The problem is when the I resize the window.  I have implemented the
the -windowDidResize method redraw the border in the content view, but
it does not seem to work.  I use the same code I used to draw the
border in the -windowDidBecomeMain: method.  Try as I might I can't get this
to work.  The custom View is set to auto size with the window, and I use the
content Views bounds rectangle difine the rectangle to draw.  When I dump
the values for the content View bounds rectangle they seem consistent with
the windows new size.

So why isn't my border getting redrawn?  What the heck am I missing?
Any help is appreciated.  The pertinant code is listed below.
