The documentation is pretty clear that -updateWindows handles visible 
windows.
Why do you say it needs so send update to *all* windows?

The -update documentation sats 'An NSWindow is automatically sent an 
update
message on every pass through the event loop and before it’s displayed 
onscreen.'

So I think that off-screen windows are supposes to be sent an update 
before they
are made visible ... and if we change the code to do that, do invisible 
windows
need to be handled in -updateWindows ?
