the image in question ( and everything underneath it) in the latest nightly (as
of 05:19 GMT 2/10/2004 (10/2/2004 for you in the usa ;)) is far too low down on
the page (the opposite problem) this is on gecko rv:1.8a5/ 20041001

This is fixed by the patch in bug 209694. I'm disinclined to roll a special fix
for this bug, but I might reconsider if we approach an important release and the
megapatch in bug 209694 isn't going to land.
