The NSApplication object provides this facility:

--- snip ---
-applicationDidFinishLaunching:
Sent by the default notification center after the application has been 
launched and initialized but before it has received its first event.

You'll need to create that delegate object and hook it up to your 
application object.

Programs tend not to crash from memory leaks unless the leak is large
+long enough that you run out of memory.

awakeFromNib is not the appropriate place for this.
