Non-document app's NSWindow keeps getting retained

I've got a Cocoa app that manually creates an NSWindow (it's an 
easier fit for a cross-platform engine). From my debugging, it 
appears that every time I click another app's window, the retain 
count on my NSWindow goes up by 2 (I have a windowDidResignKey 
delegate which prints the retain count). I don't make an 
NSWindowController.

If I override -[NSApplication windows] and return an empty array, the 
regain count doesn't keep climbing. This seems kind of odd.

The behavior is happening on 10.4.11 and 10.5.1.

I suspect I must be doing something wrong, but can't figure out what.
