Seeing as how no one has answered yet, I'll take a stab at it.  Maybe
someone more familiar with Gallery2 can give a better answer.

That code below seems to be for the thumbnail listing template.  I don't
know much about Gallery2, but it looks like your problem is this line:
<a href="{g->url params=$theme.pageUrl arg1="itemId=`$child.id`"}"
class="lightwindow">

The URL resulting from that {g->url...} call is pointing to a full page
rather than just the image.  For example, for the first thumb on that page
you get:
<a href="wp-gallery2.php?g2_itemId=27" class="lightwindow"><img ...></a>

Your lightbox script is using that URL to pull the image.  If you try that
URL in a browser yourself, you see that you're getting a full page.  So
that's what appears in the lightbox.  I think you want to be getting the URL
to access the image itself.  I just looked at the source on the page at the
above URL, and found the URL to the image itself is:
photos/main.php?g2_view=core.DownloadItem&g2_itemId=27&g2_serialNumber=1 

So I guess you'll need to find the template that is used for the individual
photo display page, and either modify your thumbnail listing template or the
lightbox script.
