Probably a bad idea. The current version of Xcode is 2.2, and keeping your
version of Xcode coordinated with the version of your system is pretty
important.

One obvious hypothesis would be that this is because at the time the button
is clicked, all the pieces are in place (the text field, the window, etc.),
but very early in the process of assembling the interface from the nib, this
might not be true. In other words, perhaps "awake from nib" is just too
early in the game. m.
