	Okay, we (Padraig, Calum and myself) have just had a quick
chat ...

	* This is the wrong solution, and no matter which way we look
	at it, its a particularily ugly solution. So I'm going to take
	out the prelight thing

	* So now a user will have no way of knowing when the panel has
	focus - that doesn't seem to be a huge problem for most users,
	but is certainly a problem for some users, and we'll have to
	fix it - the problem is how? We've racked our brains about
	this for quite a while and we keep coming up stumped ..

Good Luck,
Mark.
