I completely missed the MI stuff when I first looked at this. You 
shouldn't use MI with Cocoa classes, I'm actually suprised that this 
works at all as your supposed to get an exception when you use multiple 
inheritance.  I guess I'll have to add a unittest and some 
documentation for this.

The reason I don't want to allow multiple inheritance is twofold. First 
of all I want to keep 'Cocoa in Python' close to 'Cocoa in Objective-C' 
to make it easier to use existing Cocoa documentation. Furthermore, I 
haven't checked yet what I'd have to implement to cleanly support MI 
inherentence from Cocoa classes. This is harder than it might look, 
because we create "real" Objective-C classes.

One other thing, if you call 'objc.setVerbose(1)' at the start of you 
script you'll get a traceback in the Console whenever PyObjC translates 
an exception from Python to Objective-C. That should give you some 
additional information that might allow you to pinpoint the problem 
your having.
