nswindowcontroller

I have a simple Cocoa app using a NSWindowController subclass. In the nib I have set:

File Owner's class to my NSWindowController subclass
The 'Window' outlet of the File's Owner to the main NSWindow in the nib.

The init method of my NSWindowController subclass is called (I call super), but not matter what I do windowDidLoad is never called.

I must be missing something obvious, but for the life of me I can't figure out what it is.
