Okay, some observations from a Netscape 4.74 user on WinNT about the top
frame:

- When you view a management screen, the frame is about 5 pixels to
small, which cuts off the bottom of the Zope logo.
- When you resize the top frame, you get back a load of CSS (but as text
and without a content type) This didn't happen in a2.

However, neither of those things happen in IE.

I should mention that I've seen the 'getting text back instead of
content' thing before from Zope, usually in Netscape. The page comes
back as just a stream of text, yet if you hit 'reload' it then comes
back as it should. Very weird, and not always repeatable, but should I
submit a bug on this?

That's for the Browser Preferences option :-) It does strike me that
this is information about the logged in user, though, so why isn't it
stored against the logged in user? It's a pain getting rid of that top
frame every time I use the management interface on a different computer
;-) I've mentioned this a few times but have never got a response, so
what am I missing? (Of course, if you could provide the API for the
browser preferences, everyone else could use it for storing thigns like
full name, address, phone number, etc ;-)

Other than the niggles, it looks great :-)
