Hi, elfur --

Thanks for the fix. As far as I know, what you did *is* compliant according
to CSS and HTML 4.01 Transitional (correct me if I'm wrong, aardvark.) It
validates on validator.w3.org and jigsaw.w3.org, anyway.

The only problem is that it doesn't appear to have completely solved the
problem in Netscape 4. The font face and colors are are right, but it still
looks too small. Does anybody else see that? I don't know why that would
happen, because the style that's applied is hardcoded at 11px (up from
10px).

I think if we go into the dsp_* files that build the sidebar and apply the
styles in there, it'll work. I haven't tested it yet though.
