This is incredibly strange. It's like you have a nib or plugin left

Sorry to say that we have never seen anything like this before, so
there's no quick answer forthcoming.
Check out the Application Support/Apple/Developer Tools folders in
both /Library and ~/Library to make sure that there aren't leftover
plugins there.
Xcode's preferences are in
~/Library/Preferences/com.apple.xcode.plist and you could try moving
them out of there and starting fresh.
Ah! Someone from Apple, excellent.
The only thing you mentioned there that hadn't occurred to me was
Application Support/Apple/Developer Tools folder, which I had no idea
existed. I removed the folder (side note: the plugins folder was
empty), removed the ~/Library variant, re-ran the 2.1 uninstaller,
removed /Developer, removed com.apple.Xcode.plist, and reinstalled
2.1.
Same preferences. Grr.
I'll keep poking at it and looking for offensive nibs, but for the
most part I'm lost. Anything you guys at Apple can do to help would be
great.
I'll suggest something very, very gross:
1) Launch Xcode. Bring it to the foreground before doing step (2) just
to make things easier.
2) In Terminal, run gdb.
...in gdb now, type each of these lines, press return after each one...
3) attach Xcode
4) b open
(if prompted for multiple functions with "open" in the name, select
the one called "open")
5) commands 1
6) p (char *) $r3
7) c
8) end
9) c
10) Switch back to Xcode and type command-,
Now switch back to gdb and look at the output in your Terminal window.
You should see some paths to nib files in there. If any of them are
*not* under /System, they're the culprit. Delete them.
If you only find nibs under /System, open them up in Interface Builder
and see what you get. You should only have these nibs in the list:
/System/Library/Frameworks/Carbon.framework/Versions/A/Frameworks/
HIToolbox.framework/Resources/English.lproj/StandardMenus.nib
/System/Library/PrivateFrameworks/DevToolsInterface.framework/
Resources/English.lproj/PBXPreferencesModule.nib
/System/Library/PrivateFrameworks/DevToolsInterface.framework/
Resources/English.lproj/PBXWorkspacePrefsModule.nib
If you open the last two in IB and they look weird, I suspect your
DevToolsInterface framework is out of date. I'd suggest running the
Developer Tools uninstall script, then manually deleting
/System/Library/PrivateFrameworks/DevToolsInterface if it's still
around, and then re-installing Xcode 2.1.
Hope this helps a bit,
Eric
