No, your reasoning is still wrong. Nib files aren't things that can be
in the responder chain. The responder chain isn't magically aware of
nib files; it simply follows the links described in the documentation,
starting from the key window.

Your bug was that you weren't calling -[NSDocument
addWindowController:]. -addWindowController: calls -setDocument: on
the window controller, thus doing exactly what you said you didn't
think you had to do.
