OK, there are a number of issues here..
1. awake from nib is too late. You need to do it before any nibs are
loaded. either +initialize, or appWillFinishLaunching:
2. There is no setInitialValues: on NSUserDefaults, it's on
NSUserDefaultsController
[[NSUserDefaultsController sharedUserDefaultsController]
setInitialValues:]
3. You never need to set the initialValues: unless you're going to
support resetting to the factory defaults.

Mmalcom,
Here is my code for setting and registering the defaults and my
attempt in
my awakeFromNib method to set the initial values. This does not
appear to
work. I tried moving the setInitialValues call into the initialize
function
but that does not work either.
+ (void)initialize
{
NSUserDefaults *defaults = [NSUserDefaults standardUserDefaults];
NSMutableDictionary *appDefs = [NSMutableDictionary dictionary];
[appDefs setObject:@"0" forKey:@"FO_Plane"];
[appDefs setObject:@"1" forKey:@"FO_Wavelength"];
[appDefs setObject:@"1" forKey:@"FO_StartingSurface"];
[appDefs setObject:@"-1" forKey:@"FO_EndingSurface"];
[defaults registerDefaults:appDefs];
}
- (void)awakeFromNib
{
NSUserDefaults *defs = [NSUserDefaults standardUserDefaults];
NSDictionary *appDefs = [defs dictionaryRepresentation];
[standardDefaultsController setInitialValues:appDefs];
[window setFrameUsingName:@"Nodal Properties Dialog"];
[window setFrameAutosaveName:@"Nodal Properties Dialog"];
}

- (void)setInitialValues:(NSDictionary *)initialValues
Note that this does not register defaults with NSUserDefaults'
standardUserDefaults -- you must do this as well.
