Even commenting out that line, it still brings up the window, and I still get 
the
warning about the negative width.

A backtrace is below, in case of interest.

Don't know about if/how it works with Cocoa. I'm lacking a mac ;)
But what I tried was to create a test app, just with minimal code what I have,

why one works, the other not.
