Tested in IE6, IE8 (+IE7 mode), FF, Chrome, Safari on Vista. Works as 
advertized

+1 on reading and testing

I noticed earlier that the install tool uses prototype. Wasn't the 
entire backend supposed to use ExtJS?

Yes, I noticed that the CSS I sent to Patrick was merged into a ie6.css 
and loaded in all IE versions. There were separate versions for IE6 and 
IE7 (IE8 worked with the 'normal' CSS already).
But there are also other styling issues which were obviously not tested 
in old IE versions :-(
