Thank you for forwarding the message to Stefane for me. I've
inadvertantly left him out of the loop on the messages I've been posting
here. He wrote me back promising to look into what's up. I can't
wait....

I am definitely interested in your patch. As poor as you present your
programming skills, I am certain they outshine mine.

I can upload NuxDocuments in the ZMI, and CMF NuxDocuments in Plone (as
expected), but I cannot upload CMF NuxDocuments in a plain-vanilla CMF
site.

Yeah, I know. I was just checking out whether it would make any
difference as regards placing a CMF NuxDocument in a CMF site.

Thanks for the tip! That worked for Plone. I also copied the icons over
into the sibling NuxDocument folder to see if the icons would then show
up for NuxDocuments added to Zope via ZMI, but it didn't work.

Again, thanks for the help.
