do we think painting a sublayer is turning the compositor off?  we already have a null-check + early-out after updateRootLayerContents()

In this case, no.  However, there's no reason it couldn't.

I've fixed this bug at least three times now.  Can you forgive some extra checks for sanity's sake? :)

Yeah I know, but it's also really valuable to know which checks are working and which aren't.  We have some pretty defensive code in place to try to update compositing reqs for all layers before painting, so if that's failing then we should probably not bother since it's not free.  See http://trac.webkit.org/browser/trunk/Source/WebKit/chromium/src/WebViewImpl.cpp#L1146

Would you mind landing just the second check (in drawLayers()) without this, letting it go to canary, and seeing what that does?
