I haven't tried setting up UINavigationController via IB. I have multiple screens, each is stored in separate xib and there's a corresponding class that extends UIViewController. In applicationDidFinishLaunching I initialize UIViewControllers using xib's but then manually create UINavigationController, add navigation controller's view to window and push first view to navigation controller.

Not sure if that helps.

- (void)applicationDidFinishLaunching:(UIApplication *)application {    

    navigationController = [[UINavigationController alloc] init];

    FirstViewController * viewController = [[FirstViewController alloc] 
                                           initWithNibName:@"FirstView"
                                                    bundle:nil];
    [navigationController pushViewController:viewController animated:NO];
    [viewController release];
    [window addSubview:navigationController.view];
    [window makeKeyAndVisible];
}

Above FirstViewController extends UIViewController, in IB you create your view then set File's owner class to your class (e.g. here FirstViewController) and connect the File's owner view to the UIView's view.
