That looks right to me (assuming the third line's owner: is a typo). Though as
Jens Alfke says, if you make your owner object a subclass of
NS{View,Window}Controller it will take care of some housekeeping for you.
In what way is it not working as expected? Are you checking the results of
loadNibNamed:, etc? Are your owner object's outlets being set to the correct
non-nil objects instantiated from the nib?
