 Will look into it tomorrow (and the old favicon.ico which I got a

 That's what it was last after all the other css files. From what I
understood the idea was to override the styles within the ubuntu.css
instead of editing the debian.css. That way, if it's not included in
ubuntu.css it will use the entries from debian.css as fallback. That's
the way it was done before. :)

 Sure - but that would mean someone to be willing to take care for it in
the long run (not that I plan to overhaul the whole css completely, mind
you.) May I contact you in the future if something pops up along that
lines?

 Enjoy,
