Right. Setup code for objects from nibs should usually go in -awakeFromNib.

Right again, basically, although I think they use direct OpenGL for drawing. This unfortunately makes it extremely difficult to customize the display of these views, since the OpenGL surface covers up any regular drawing. I tried pretty hard to extend the image-browser a few years ago and eventually gave up.
