I guessed that ... and just looked at Ink.app ...
it didn't implement application:openFile:, so I've added an 
implementation.

However, I wonder if it's supposed to be a feature of 
NSDocumentController
that it should implement applicationLopenFile: itsself?

It worked for me ...

I think that must be a Gorm specific  (or possibly gui) bug relating to 
the actual
display of the window rather than anything to do with opening files.
