I'm wondering what you are doing to make it be case-sensitive. Do
nibs not find their resources if the resource names differ in case

system?
Sadly, this seems to be what happens. Even though FAT32 is case-
insensitive (I think), when I look at the resources in the Finder on
Panther, I'll see files that were supposed to be called "file.tiff"
changed to "file.TIFF," which seems to screw up the nib.

I can, of course, make my code look for files in a case-
insensitive manner -- this is simple enough to do in places where
the user wants to open a file or when I want to populate a matrix
of thumbnail images, for example. But the real difficulty for me
is in dealing with the GUI bits that I've done using IB. There are
literally hundreds of NSButtons, NSImageViews, and the like that I
have "married" to image resources using IB and it would be a
nightmare to have to go into my code and set the images
programmatically. It gets even worse when you consider that many
of the buttons have multiple states that are represented with
alternate images, which is easy to handle in IB but not a lot of
fun to handle programatically when there are several hundred
elements to deal with.
