For objects that were saved in a NIB file -initWithFrame: is usually not what's 
called to recreate them (there are some exceptions that I don't remember off 
the top of my head). Since NIBs are essentially archives most of the views 
stored within them are recreated via -initWithCoder:

As for the drawRect: override, it was my understanding that the IK*View objects 
didn't do any of their drawing in drawRect: but instead were done via CALayers. 
I could be misinformed on this point though.
