plugin problems in Tiger

Hi

I have a plugin, the sole use of which is to display an Alert if certain run-time conditions are detected.  If these conditions are not detected, or the pane is entered in the backward direction, I'd like to simply skip to the next pane.  On Leopard & Tiger, when the conditions are not detected AND the direction is InstallerDirectionForward, everything works great -  I simply call -[self gotoNextPane] and the next pane is displayed.

On Tiger, when the user clicks back on the next pane(which is one provided by default, not one I provide), the code I have simply detects the backward direction and then calls -[self gotoNextPane] to go back to the pane the user just came from, as there's nothing useful on my pane for that scenario.  However, the installer doesn't actually go to the next pane, like it does on Leopard.  I also tried 'self gotoPreviousPane' in case the InstallerDirection actually caused the previous/next pane to be flipped on Tiger - no change.

A) Is there any way to disable the back button on an default Pane? Then I can avoid this song & dance to get the UX we want.
b) If not, is there different next/previous pane logic on Tiger vs. Leopard that is making this happen?  Some more information on the "Pane stack" which is mentioned in the header files and how it works would be appreciated, too.

Thanks!

Neal
