IB doesn't store windows in the .nib file; instead it stores WindowTemplates.
WindowTemplates are read in and sent awake messages; Windows are still created
with the good old newContent:style:backing:buttonMask:defer: method. 

The best is to have a common initialization routine that is called by both 
your new methods and the read/awake pair.  This way the initailization will
get done properly no matter how the object is created.
