Please make sure you stick to one functionality/change per branch to  
make it easier for others to make a diff and understand all the  
changes. I thought you wanted to use the branch for the  
folder_contents work only ;-)

CMFDefault represents a simple sample application for the CMF. It  
doesn't have to be pretty by itself, but any changes should have these  
goals:

  - make it easier for people to customize the look-and-feel using CSS  
only, or...

  - make it easier to take the current main_template as a guideline  
for a new main_template by making it as simple and understandable as  
possible.

I'd be opposed to any template that uses fixed widths and which does  
not degrade gracefully with less or more width.
