My memory is fuzzy, but it might have had to do with GC.  IIRC,
viewWillMoveToWindow:nil is sent to a view during a window's
finalization... ah, here's what I was thinking of:

Anyway, I previously used a DTS incident and talked to people at WWDC
about all this.  The conclusion was: on 10.5, an NSView's finalize is
always called on the main thread, so you can safely call
removeObserver:forKeyPath: to undo KVO started previously.  In 10.6, kvo
is done with weak referencing, so you don't have anything you need to do.

:) In my case it was a big deal, because full screen is an important feature.
