Hello Denis,

I) to harmonize the contents of your rte.css and your normal css you 
could do the following:
1) divide your css for the frontend into e.g. layout.css and 
content.css. In the content.css you only define what you need in RTE as 
well.
2) create a file rte.css, and in this one use @import to integrate your 
content.css.

II) I sometimes encountered problems like yours. Mostly those errors 
were due to configuration mistakes, but sometimes it was really due to 
the browser's cache, because all of a sudden the whole thing worked. A 
solution that helped sometimes: Delete the temporary js-files, and then 
clear the browser's cache.

Prosit, Uschi
