Hi,

A while back when I was investigating the Bespin theme I also ran into glitches. The Bespin author (Thomas Lübking) was interested and kind enough to help me iron them out, so it might be a thought to have a look at the Bespin code in its repository. All was resolved at svn revision 1730 (svn://svn.code.sf.net/p/cloudcity/code).

Cheers,
René
