Responder chain inclarity

I'm having responder chain headaches.  Here's my stack of objects:

RSWindow with custom - sendEvent: to capture and handle with trackingRect for webView mouse activity.

When the user clicks I create a viewController and add the view as a subview to the RSWindow.
The viewController provides - deleteLocator: which invokes [[self view] removeFromSuperview].

A right click on a subview opens a context menu with two options: Edit or Delete. Delete should remove the subview from the RSWindow.

My issue is with wiring up the menu to the NSResponder chain. When I connect the Delete menu item to the FirstReponder action in IB the event never fires. If I connect the Delete button directly to the viewController's deleteLocator: action outlet the event gets hung up in the RSWindow sendEvent:  else { [super sendEvent:theEvent] } .

Here is a partial of the NSLog dump:

Clearly I am misunderstanding some aspect of the menu-to-Respnder chain setup.  Any thoughts?

It occurs to me I may be trying to remove the viewController from within the viewController - a lifting-by-the-bootstraps problem ?  Should I make the RSWindow do the removal/deletion ? Or AppDelegate ?
