Hi,

It looks like self.initialize is a no-go:

class Foo def self.initialize NSLog("self.initialize is a saaaad panda") # <- never runs end end

The ruby idiom for that would be just:

class Foo NSLog("IM IN UR CLASS INITIALIZEEN FROM RUBY") end

is that ok in the context of Cocoa applications? Is there a better way?

Indeed, +initialize won't be called for pure-Ruby classes. I recommend to use the Ruby idiom here, it's simpler :) Laurent
