I don't think I will, at least not for this feature; the 'gallery-group'
approach works for me. The patch is still useful though, because at larger
sites it may be impractical to add all gallery-using users to a group.
I'll send you a patch to the documentation that explains the group-approach.

No. I'm rather thinking of environments where you aren't in control of your
DNS, so you basically have one virtualhost, and each user wants their own
design templates and gallery.css.
Perhaps the script could check whether a gallery.css exists in some
configurable locations (such as the public_html directory of the user who
owns the gallery, or in the gallery directory itself), and, if so, link to
that instead of the site-wide copy.

Well, it's all the same to me. :) It might actually be possible to do it
by modifying the directory template, but I haven't looked at it long enough
yet.
Oh, BTW, I experienced some weirdness after I upgraded to 0.4.1; messages
like:
[Mon Sep 9 19:50:30 2002] [error] Can't locate auto/Apache/Gallery/resizepictu.al in @INC (@INC contains: /var/cache/apache/inline/lib /etc/perl /usr/local/lib/perl/5.8.0 /usr/local/share/perl/5.8.0 /usr/lib/perl5 /usr/share/perl5 /usr/lib/perl/5.8.0 /usr/share/perl/5.8.0 /usr/local/lib/site_perl . /etc/apache/ /etc/apache/lib/perl) at /usr/share/perl5/Apache/Gallery.pm line 512
It disappeared after I removed the inline/lib directory and restarted
apache. Now everything works normally. Maybe this should be documented too;
but since I don't fully understand what's going on there, I don't have the
cheek to write about it. :)
