Hi,

I have run into an old problem.  I want to create a custom object that
loads part of itself from a nib, and does some fiddling with the nib
objects at initialisation.  If I just do a loadNibSection:owner: in
my init method, the nib object pointers are still nil (according to gdb)
e.g.


@interface X:Object
{
	id window;
	id splitView;
	...
}

...

@end


@implementation X

- init
{
	[super init];
	[NXApp loadNibSection:"X.nib" owner:self];

	// at this point window and splitView are still 0x0/nil

	[window setBackgroundGray:NX_BLACK];
	...

	return self;
}

...

@end

In NextAnswers (#817 I think) it addresses this problem, and says it
can be cured by adding a new method (say awake) and doing the initialisation
in there:

- init
{
	[super init];
        [NXApp loadNibSection:"X.nib" owner:self];

	[self awake];

	return self;
}


- awake
{
        [window setBackgroundGray:NX_BLACK];
	....

        return self;
}


Unfortunately, window and splitView are *still* set to nil.  Any ideas?

Thanks in advance,

Tim
