Re: NIB loader: custom views don't draw themselves

[Gregory Casamento]

I'm not certain.  I'm currently trying to build Darling with the latest GNUstep

My current hypothesis is that there have been changes in how some classes are 
archived in later nib versions and the current code isn't reading some 
properties correctly.
