In the nib, did you connect the "window" outlet of File's Owner to the 
primary window of the nib?  The NSWindowController needs to be 
informed in this way as to which window it's supposed to control.

You can try logging the "winCtrl" object you get, too, just to make 
sure it isn't nil for some reason.
