Why not just put a call to display your "getting started" window from 
-applicationShouldOpenUntitledFile:?

You could still return NO in that case, and then won't need to 
rewrite what you already have.

I'm not sure if -awakeFromNib has already been called by the time -
applicationShouldOpenUntitledFile: is (you'd have to test that one), 
but if it's not you could just delay the call to display your window 
in that case.
