Patrick,
I've been struggling for 13 hours now to get a local/config.php file to 
work.
Sometimes it displays, then i add or change a variable or an array, and 
poof, it's gone, back to plain vanilla.

My two cents on the css layout issue are that css is the best way to 
go. Period.
It's the only rational way to separate presentation, content and 
markup. Have you ever seen the total disaster that a tables based 
layout looks like on a text based browser, or an accessibility device 
or a PDA/cellphone/etc, for that matter?

I've got a really nice unbreakable (so far) cross-browser layout in 
css, which has a header, left sidebar (could just as easily be right), 
content area (which can easily have internal subdivisions for search 
and cmds), and footer. Even works in NN4, no hacks.

BUT (big but!)

My local/config.php keeps breaking, and i don't have a clue as to why.

I think that the suggestion for a default template along those lines 
would be a great boon.
I could use my nifty css layout, and just drop tags that correspond to 
the different bits of the page into the right divs.

thanks,
Andres
