hmmm ... I had a lot of problems including that I had to do small changes to
navbar.wml ... but now things work for me ... your problem does not occure
in my situation ...

for all those who were wondering what I am up to ... the current state of
work can be seen on http://ee-staff.ethz.ch/~oetiker/ethrat/
