Override -makeWindowControllers. The default calls -windowNibName, and
loads a new instance of the named Nib for every document, but you can
change that behavior to re-use a single window controller:

- (void)makeWindowControllers {
    static NSWindowController *windowController;
    if (!windowController) {
        windowController = [[NSWindowController alloc]
initWithWindowNibName:@"MyDocumentNib" owner:self];
    }
    [self addWindowController:windowController];
}
