Re: [Q] Releasing objects owned by Gorm interface element

Sam,

It is the responsibility of the app to release certain top level objects
contain in the nib (in this place, gorm) file.

Here is a good place to start:

http://developer.apple.com/documentation/Cocoa/Conceptual/LoadingResources/Concepts/NibFileLoaded.html

You need to maintain a connection to any windows, menus, controllers or other
toplevel objects you have created.   Generally, these are the objects you see
in  IB/Gorm in the "Objects View".

Please make sure you are correctly deallocating these.
