Can I tell which object is retaining my window?

I've got an application that was working fine until today, and now one of the temporary windows I create is being retained. A lot.

Sample log, after I subclassed the retain and release methods to do logging:
2006-07-30 15:28:54.349 Flix[2674] DashboardWindow retained: 1
2006-07-30 15:28:54.359 Flix[2674] DashboardWindow released: 2
2006-07-30 15:28:54.367 Flix[2674] DashboardWindow retained: 1
2006-07-30 15:28:54.376 Flix[2674] DashboardWindow released: 2
2006-07-30 15:28:54.388 Flix[2674] DashboardWindow retained: 1
2006-07-30 15:28:54.406 Flix[2674] DashboardWindow retained: 2
2006-07-30 15:28:54.415 Flix[2674] DashboardWindow retained: 3
2006-07-30 15:28:54.423 Flix[2674] DashboardWindow released: 4
2006-07-30 15:28:54.433 Flix[2674] DashboardWindow retained: 3
2006-07-30 15:28:54.441 Flix[2674] DashboardWindow released: 4
2006-07-30 15:28:54.452 Flix[2674] DashboardWindow retained: 3
2006-07-30 15:28:54.461 Flix[2674] DashboardWindow released: 4
2006-07-30 15:28:54.470 Flix[2674] DashboardWindow retained: 3
2006-07-30 15:28:54.479 Flix[2674] DashboardWindow released: 4
2006-07-30 15:28:54.488 Flix[2674] DashboardWindow retained: 3
2006-07-30 15:28:54.497 Flix[2674] DashboardWindow released: 4
2006-07-30 15:28:54.506 Flix[2674] DashboardWindow retained: 3
2006-07-30 15:28:54.515 Flix[2674] DashboardWindow released: 4
2006-07-30 15:28:54.523 Flix[2674] DashboardWindow retained: 3
2006-07-30 15:28:54.524 Flix[2674] DashboardWindow released: 4

And so on. I'm creating the window in code like so:
			floatingWindow = [[[DashboardWindow alloc] init] retain];
And later, releasing it normally:
			[floatingWindow release];

So, as far as I can tell - something else is sending retain messages to my window. Is there any way to find out what it is? Even just what class it is would be helpful.

When my main window is key (not the floating one), the floating window seems to receive a retain/release every time i move the mouse! I'm not even responding to mouse moved events. The closest I'm doing is a trackingRect on the floating window.

Hope someone can shed some light.
Many Thanks!
