Patch against Bugzilla_Stable that labels several items that are useless to print with their own style and then uses a style sheet not show them when printing.

style sheet used in patch when printing, it should be named printable.css and it goes in the bugzilla root directory.

Details 
An engineer at our status meeting had printed out several bug reports and bug
lists.  Each of them had the yellow box "This is Bugzilla: the Mozilla bug
system"... at the bottom of the page.  The instructions and navigation options
in that box are fairly useless on paper.

I modified my bugzilla installation (2.16) so that these would not print (using
stylesheets).  Here are the changes:
Create a printable.css file with the contents:
.bugzillaNavigationBox {
  display:none;
}

Reference this stylesheet for printing in each pages header by adding the
following line to template/en/default/global/header.html.tmpl anywhere in the
<head> section.
<link rel="stylesheet" media="print" href="printable.css" type="text/css">

make the things that shouldn't print the bugzillaNavigationBox class:
in template/en/default/global/header.html.tmpl change the outermost table to:
<table border="0" class="bugzillaNavigationBox">

in template/en/default/bug/navigate.html.tmpl add the following div around most
of the content:
<div class="bugzillaNavigationBox">
</div>

in template/en/default/bug/navigate.html.tmpl add the following div around most
of the content:
<div class="bugzillaNavigationBox">
</div>

in template/en/default/list/list.html.tmpl add the following div around the
navigation bar:
<div class="bugzillaNavigationBox">
</div>

The problems that I see with this fix are: 
1. The style sheet is a relative reference, it should probably be absolute.  I
don't know what the template variable for the bugzilla root installation url is.

2. Bugzilla appears to have some other style sheet mechanism.  This patch
shouldn't interterfere with it, but it might be possible to integrate the two. 
If that were done, problem one would be moot because the style sheets would be
inline rather than files.

I don't know how to create patch files.  If somebody could point me in the right
direction, I would be glad to do so.
Patches are created with cvs diff -u for a CVS directory and diff -u oldfile
newfile or diff -ru olddir newdir for non-CVS directories.

The User Interface component now belongs to Gerv.  Reassigning all UNCONFIRMED
and NEW (but not ASSIGNED) bugs currently owned by Myk (the previous component
owner) to Gerv.
Assignee: myk → gerv
Reassigning back to Myk.  That stuff about Gerv taking over the User Interface
component turned out to be short-lived.  Please pardon our confusion, and I'm
very sorry about the spam.
