That is quite an interesting problem that I still don't fully 
understand. NSWindows aren't stored in the NIB file directly, instead an 
NSWindowTemplate gets stored and this recreates the NSWindow on loading. 
In GNUstep we really first init the window and set its stored attributes 
later, when the window is created during NIB loading. But as none of the 
values you mention (background colour, window level) is set during NIB 
loading I don't see why your old code did not work.

I hope to find time to download your whole application and debug it a bit.
