Einar,

I am running into all sorts of sub-classing "issues" with 2.0 which is really frustrating because I only use subclassed stuff in my apps.

Wow, I guess I need to start messing with this more. I'm pretty sure you got the "red" idea from me and I sure hope I don't start running into "issues" ... what kind of "issues" have you encountered? I will be getting into 2.0 pretty heavily starting in April.
