Update your OS.
I can open the minecraft launcher then I press play it opens the game then shoots to full screen and goes black then a minute or two later I can see the very bottom of the screen and can click on all the buttons but I can't see them. This never happened with 1.5.2. It only occurs with full-screen on any other size works even if I make it fill the screen.
I expected to be able to play the game and be able to see what I was doing.
When the game opened I had a black screen and couldn't see anything then a minute later i could see the very bottom of the title screen and clicked around to find that the buttons still worked.
This come up on the development console when I finally get agitated enough to quit, and I have no idea what is happening or how to fix it:

I got it to work by getting out of full screen with the command-shift-Q function and telling my mac not to log out. Then I went to options and unchecked full screen and now it runs fine even if I drag and expand the window to fill my screen, and the error is still there. I can deal with this but I am still not happy about it.
I am getting the same message on the console, but minecraft is working fine for me...
