iPhone: Popping a modalViewController off of a UINavigationController stack

Ever since I've taken one of my UIViewController subclasses and present it to the user in the form of a modal view, with presentModalViewController:animated.. I haven't been able to dismiss it using:

[self dismissModalViewControllerAnimated:YES];

I do believe this is some odd mixup with how I'm instantiating a UINavigationController on the modalViewController, with code that looks like the following (similar code is also in the App Delegate):

UIWindow *window = [[UIWindow alloc] initWithFrame:[[UIScreen mainScreen] bounds]];
navigationController =
    [[UINavigationController alloc] initWithRootViewController:self];
navigationController.navigationBar.barStyle = UIBarStyleBlackOpaque;
[window addSubview:navigationController.view];
[window makeKeyAndVisible];

The navigation stack works as expected, but unless I remove it, I can't dismiss the modal view controller any longer. I'm under the impression that I shouldn't be adding a subView to UIWindow more than once and that's just one of the problems.

Make sure you call dismissModalViewControllerAnimated on the parent of the modal view controller, not on the modal view controller itself.
