Visible at launch is not checked.

But are you suggesting that you cannot configure the window prior to 
displaying it? Or do you distinguish "load" from "display"? I'm 
trying to load it into memory, alter it, and then display.

Judging from debug sessions, the window and other top level objects 
(not to mention all the outlets) only come to life (get their 
addresses assigned) on entering awakeFromNib.
