Offset on UIWindow addSubview

I've got a UITabBar based application that works just fine. Under certain circumstances I am showing a different UIViewController instead though. Now what bugs me is that that I have to adjust the frame for the Test nib (and only the Test nib!) to display correctly. (Otherwise the view is below the status bar).

- (void)applicationDidFinishLaunching:(UIApplication *)application
{
    if (condition) {

        UIViewController *vc = [[UIViewController alloc] initWithNibName:@"Test" bundle:nil];

        // FIXME this should NOT be required
        CGRect r = vc.view.frame;
        r.origin.y += 20;
        vc.view.frame = r;

        [window addSubview:vc.view];
        [window makeKeyAndVisible];
        return;
    }

    [window addSubview:tabViewController.view];
    [window makeKeyAndVisible];
}

So maybe something is wrong with the Test nib? Can't be. The Test nib works as desired in a clean new project. And a new clean nib shows the same symptoms. So something must be wrong with the MainWindow nib, right? But the UITabBarController displays just fine.

I am a little confused and running out of ideas here. Any suggestions how to track this down?

I am assuming that your UITabBarController is an IB outlet, so that when applicationDidFinishLaunching: is called, it is already initialized. Try the following: just after instantiating your view controller, do:

[vc setWantsFullScreenLayout:YES];
