That one, who creates the WC is the owner (probably the App-Delegate or a document). It should retain the WC. The WC can send a message to the owner, when its window is closed. (And the owner probably wants to autorelease the WC in this case.)
Problem: When the WC is released by its owner after sending a message to its owner, the code execution returns to a probably deallocated instance. For that reason you should autorelease the WC instead of releasing it or dispatch the release through the run loop.
