They'd have to be configured *after* being added to the view hierarchy, which probably means overriding addSubview:. See below.

You could override setContentView: in your custom window class (and addSubview: in your layered-view class) and ensure that only after it sets your layered-view as it's contentView (or subView), it has your layered-view (or subView) do its layer initialization. i.e., you could call your super's addSubview: or setContentView:, and only after this super call returns, do the contentView or subView layer initialization.
