The Preference app undoubtedly sets itself to be the window's delegate.
Now, maybe I could forward delegate functions to the app, but if any
other preference pane uses the same trick, stuff will break.
What the pref-pane framework needs to do is forward app and window
delegate messages to the active preference pane. Really, the pref-pane
framework needs revamping.
Eventually, I'll log a bug against it.

it appears that you're trying to make the GeekToolPrefs (which I'm
assuming is your custom class) the first responder, but it doesn't
inherit from NSResponder, so that's a problem.
I think you're right, but how do I make something that could no be
first responder get NSFontManager's changeFont: calls ?
Well, I'm writing a preference pane. To solve this sort of problem, I
make a custom subclass of NSResponder and insert it into the
appropriate place in the responder chain -- in my case, that place is
above my pane view.
I'm running in to a problem, though, which you might run in to also.
The field editor is a sub-view of the window, not of my view, so my
NSResponder won't intercept actions that filter up from the field
editor. I'm not quite sure how to fix this problem; I can't supply my
own field editor, since preference panes can't override the window's
methods.
