Just define the class as a subclass of NSView and make sure that the 
module containing the class is loaded before you load the NIB. When you 
create a class in IB you don't really create the class, you just tell 
IB that you will define a class in your own code.

The DotView example that was recently added to the PyObjC CVS is an 
example on how to do this.
