This is based on Carter Allen answer, but maybe will be helpfull to someone as i lost couple of hours trying to figure out the reason behind an EXEC_BAD_ACCESS, in short you can't release the attachedWindow inside his windowDidResignKey notification, so use autorelease:

- (void)windowDidResignKey:(NSNotification *)aNotification {
    NSLog(@"MainWinDelegate::windowDidResignKey: %@", [aNotification object]);

    if (fAttachedWindow && [aNotification object] == fAttachedWindow) {
        [window removeChildWindow:fAttachedWindow];
        [fAttachedWindow orderOut:self];
        [fAttachedWindow autorelease];
        fAttachedWindow = nil;
    }
}

You should be able to do this via the window's delegate method:

- (void)windowDidResignKey:(NSNotification *)notification

Set yourself as the window's delegate, and implement that to call through to your toggle method.
