I don't know if the objective-C bridge memory management is changed in
any significant way.  However, what you describe above sounds slightly
odd to me.    Why would you send a #/release on :id slots in a custom
view from the NSWindow?

Memory for which objects?  If it is the :id slots you could try to see
with #/retainCount if they are supposed to be deallocated 
(However note that #/retainCount can give a very misleading picture 
if #/autorelease is called on the instance and the pool is not emptied
yet.)
