Gang,
Is there some reason that the "owner" of an Interface Builder module file
must be either Object or a direct subclass of Object?  I'm interested in 
having an interface file read in where the "owner" would be a View subclass.
I realize I can do this myself by specifying the View as the owner in 
loadNibSection:owner:, but I can't set the owner in IB itself to anything
that isn't an Object or immediate subclass.  This makes automatic
initialization of instance variables in the owner impossible.
Thanks,
Dave  (combs@sumex-aim.stanford.edu)
