Thanks, Jens.

I have a follow-up question: When I close and re-open the window, the window is 
'empty', no content is shown. It turns out that the Window Controller is 
removed from the document's windowControllers. Since I hung onto it in an iVar 
on the document I add it back to the doc's windowControllers and then call 
showWindow: - is that the way to do it?

Thanks,

Rainer
