Observe NSWindowWillCloseNotification via NSNotificationCenter. You will get notified. The delegate should get the notification but it's possible the delegate is getting set nil prior.

But it's not always called, leaving me with the dreaded 'KVO observers were still attached when an object was deallocated' error in some cases (in particular, when the 'Save' dialog shows up and Don't Save is clicked - maybe for other cases as well).

Surely there's a reliable place for this?
