Sorry, I was working to fix this last night and fell asleep. Also lately I 
seem to need a vacation as I have had some brain fade. For instance trying to 
figure out why my new function cased an error on the line with
$in_array(currentPage(),$left_Logo_kh_pages)
Of course the accidental "$" was the error. :-(

In some private discussions mention was made that the http reference for CSS 
might have a problem. In fact I am not sure what I missed in not uploading 
things but I actually created a file (cssimage.php) in my delusional 
confusion and desperation that is going to be removed. The problem I had 
uploading however was solved. I deleted the upload profile and recreated it 
and now it works fine. Who knows what the problem was, but now I can upload 
the project and stop getting screwed up.

So I have fixed the problem for including kallery and other subdomains. This 
is handled by the domain local file applib.php and you simply set the 
application variable $_application. The working example is in the kommander 
subdomain. It needs to be duplicated for all subdomains. As to questions 
about how and what it's doing, the comments in the file should explain. In 
simple terms the server configuration and security introduces issues for 
sharing files with subdomains and soft linking on the server would require 
all developers to do so with their test bench.

I will post an active do list shortly. WRT kallery, it's part of the 
applications here but not part of the official kdewebdev packages. Should we 
put it on the main menu?
