In reading through the class-dump of InstantMessage.framework (the

NSPreferences and NSPreferencesModule that look like they control the
preferences panel. However, I cannot find documentation on either of
these
classes.
Has anybody ever heard of these classes, and if so, where can I find
out how
to use them? I am assuming that they are private, but the developer
docs
might also just be out of date.
You are correct; they appear to be private classes in AppKit. However,
you can make a preference window that's similar to the ones used in
iChat, Mail, Safari, etc. by using the OmniAppKit and OmniFoundation
frameworks, and making a bundle for each preference pane. Check out the
OAPreferenceController class in OmniAppKit...
