In a WebKit2 world, at rest, we are in a state where NSGraphicsContext is null (because we have no NSWindow, NSViews, etc.) LocalCurrentGraphicsContext is supposed to make temporary changes to the current Cocoa graphics context. However! It will not restore the current context to null, so you can end up with an unexpected context as the "at rest" context.
