No go.

I'm not changing the paddings or the margin, so it should be using
whatever values are in the original html (which is actually being spit
out by javascript, so I can't tell what they are).

I 'm wondering if the position of the sidebar is set in concrete in
the html.  I've tried setting the position and float styles, but never
saw the position change.

(I have been able to tell, by using webdeveloper, that the sidebar is
a div, which is chock full of a bunch of other div's.)

I also found a site with a few skins for gmail, at:

    http://www.skingmail.com/

...and tried all of them, but couldn't get pointers from them, since,
although they do a great deal of changing colors and button styles and
the like, none of them tries to change the rhs.
