No, it isn't, I took this example simply because I love this navbar.
I tried to make clear on these pages that www.gimp.org does not use WML,
but will rename this directory to an anonymous one.

Yes.  I misunderstood your point (was confused by these threads, too :)).

A 'selected' button is not active, since it is assumed to be the current
page.  The 'subselected' state is only a clickable 'selected' button, it
has nothing to do with colors.  To be more precise, layout for
'subselected' items is by default the same as 'normal' items, because
both are active.  In your case, simply redefine 'subselected' layout,
e.g. copy all definitions with type=S and replace type=S by type=SS

So, if you do want intermediate buttons to be clickable, no changes are
needed.  Otherwise, wml::des::navbar must be patched, but this looks
strange to me.
