Thank you, Mark, for your help.
If I summarize, The way to a new class in XCode 4 is the following :
1°)Create the .h and .m files , the same way as before ( from the top 
menu :File->New->File)
2°)Fish the blue cube "Object" from the Object Library and drag it to 
the <Objects> pane of XCode4 IB window
3°)Use the identity inspector to settle the class name. Either by 
picking it's name in the drop-down list, which , BTW, is the equivalent 
of the "good old" IB <Classes Library> tab, or by beginning to type it's 
name in the <class> textField( code completion works there)
Point 3 is essential because I found to my surprise that it is possible 
to override the name of "Object", by typing "myNewClass"directly in the 
list, and then make connections to other listed class instances !
Of course these phantom connections disappear at building and the App 
won't work, but I think users should be warned against that, waiting a 
correction of the interface.
