OK, but here's what I want to know: it seems that RC1 themes are, in 
general, supposed to be compatible with 1.0.0+ themes.  Additionally, if 
it was an incompatibility that was breaking it, why would it load the 
first time?

I don't mean to be confrontational, and I will try using seperate 
accounts when I get into work tomorrow.  This just seemed a little bit 
suspect to me.
