Hi,

when I replace NIB with XIB, I suddenly get a working menubar.

But a natively built version also draws for me - that means the bug is
likely in my code (and I'm raising false alarms).

I've added extra NSLog statements and it seems that in the OS X version
on Linux, initWithFrame: is never called, only (void)awakeFromNib. In
the native version, both are called.

When I add a manual call to [self initWithFrame:], it succeeds, so the
method *is* registered with the runtime.

Any idea what may be causing this discrepancy?
