For an ordinary window one can set in IB "Auto Save Name:" and everything works as expected. I can give it a nice size and position and the next time I open it, all is fine.

But if this window is a document, controlled by some NSDocumentController, this Auto Save Name seems to be ingnored (at least on Tiger). This is annoying, as it forces me to size each new window again and again.

This is a bug in NSWindowController that's fixed in Leopard. Search for "New Behavior for NSWindowController Frame Autosave Names" in the Leopard AppKit release notes <http://developer.apple.com/releasenotes/Cocoa/AppKit.html >.

You can work around it using -[NSWindowController setWindowFrameAutosaveName:].

Alternatively, you can use a custom subclass of NSWindowController that fixes the bug. It can override -setWindow: to first capture any existing frame auto-save name, then invoke super, then restore the original frame auto-save name if it exists, is non-empty, and if the window's frame auto-save name was in fact cleared by super's implementation.
