No problem, sorry about the late reply, I've been very busy the past two  
weeks.

It loads the Print CSS instead of the proper one, and that confuses the  
EditCSS. If you uncomment the print CSS, I believe it works.

I have heard rumors that Mozilla 1.6 incorporates something like this in  
their browser by default now, but I haven't had time to figure out how to  
enable it. If somebody on this list knows, instructions would be  
appreciated. :)

Some, but I get to read way too little. Thanks for the compliments, they  
should also be shared by the rest of the UI Team - they've done a great  
job. :)

Yes, it wasn't really planned at all - we just got the opportunity to  
stream the conference via RealNetworks in the 11th hour - and Alan was  
able to get hold of some camera-wielding people. Then Alan spent some time  
digitizing it with his new Mac, it was probably the first time he's ever  
done something like this. We'll try to plan it a bit better for the Plone  
Conference 2. Especially the lighting conditions and viewing of slides  
could be improved a lot. :)

No problem. I've CCed this mail to the plone-design list, which I think  
you should start reading if you're interested in Plone and CSS - and UI in  
general. More info here:
