The view controller (or app delegate) should be the one to respond to the
'runPageLayout:' message, not the first responder!! Unless you've subclassed
one of the UI controls (to add the aforementioned runPageLayout: method), there
won't be any first responder that can receive that message, unless you use the
'forwarding and proxies' design pattern.
the first responder is a control (or view); it doesn't make sense that a UI
element would know anything about your custom message... unless you subclass it.
