Any ideas? suggestions?
Are you sure you really need an NSWindow subclass? It's pretty unusual, and when it is needed it's often for minor things like getting nib-archived windows to use a style mask that IB doesn't let you choose. If you can move your behaviors into a controller class, then it will be easy to make that controller class work with either an NSWindow or an NSPanel. Whether this is possible or easy will depend on exactly what you're doing, of course, but generally that's where this kind of thing belongs anyway.
