NSWindowController has a window outlet already.  Your custom subclass 
of NSWindowController should not declare its own outlet.

The fact that NSWindowController uses "_window" as its ivar name 
doesn't matter.  The NIB-loading machinery will use setWindow: to 
connect the outlet, not direct access to the ivar.
