Well, after fixing what I think to be a couple of bugs in PyObjC, I've
run into another problem.  I think.

It seems interface builder uses [NSBundle classNamed:] to find the
palette class, and my Python classes aren't showing up to this
function (it shows up as the result to [NSBundle principalClass],
though).

It may or may not be coincidental that when I register an observer for
NSBundleDidLoadNotification I never see my Python classes go by...

I'm way out of my depth here.
