Wow, really? I think it SHOULD use the actual sizes as specified in IB. There's 
a wealth of information there, and I can't think of a better way to specify 
what the default window should look like.

The idea of adding a height constraint really rubs me the wrong way, as I don't 
want to constrain it (other than to make it a >= constraint). By the way, how 
DO I add such a constraint? I tried to Pin the bottom pane's custom view, but 
all those options are disabled.

Oh, I was able to add a >= 22 px height constraint to the text view (but not 
its parent), but then the entire window at run time was a different height, and 
the constraint did not do what I expected: it pushed the bottom edge of the 
text field off the bottom edge of the window as soon as it got down to 22 
pixels high. So, it constrained the height, but not the parent view's height.

It doesn't show anything in the size inspector, just content hugging priority 
and content compression resistance priority. The outline view in one of the 
posted images shows more constraints, but not terribly descriptively.
