And in fact this whole process turned out to be much easier than I expected, thanks to IB's Compatibility Report feature, about which I previously knew nothing. Turns out IB will *tell* you that you've got progress indicators of the Jaguar-only type, and will *find* them for you! So then the matter is simple: just change those features to pre-Jaguar values, save the nib as pre-Jaguar, and in your code change the features back to the Jaguar values.
This is no bother ultimately, because I'm already doing so much code processing of my interface (because IB doesn't let me perform so much of what I want to do to my interface, such giving my buttons attributed-string titles).
So the moral is: (1) if you're using the new post-Jaguar style nibs, stop immediately and revert to the pre-Jaguar style, and (2) don't worry, be happy. Thanks and apologies to Henri and the gang; I thought I was in more trouble than I really was. m.
