Tab bar controller inside a navigation controller, or sharing a navigation root view

The two previous answers got it right – I don’t use UITabBarController in Tweetie. It’s pretty easy to write a custom XXTabBarController (plain subclass of UIViewController) that is happy to get pushed onto a nav controller stack, but still lives by the “view controller” philosophy. Each “tab” on the account-specific view (Tweets/Replies/Messages) is its own view controller, and as far as they are concerned they’re getting swapped around on screen by a plain-ol UITabBarController.
