No, I think you want to say that the NSImageView isn't initialized until the window is *loaded* for the first time. But that's not the same, since nothing requires that you then immediately *show* the window. Remember, initializing the window controller does NOT load the window. To load the window, you must say "window" to the window controller. For example:

[theWindowController window];

Or, inside the window controller's own code:

[self window];

Now the window is loaded and you can proceed to modify it. By the way, your window controller will get a windowDidLoad call at this time so that's one place to perform your gui initializations. m.
