Hmmm... "body" already has a background colour set in the CSS, and
Galeon appears to be respecting it.  The difference you see is in the
RDoc output (the main pane), where the default grey kicks in.  The CSS
I create doesn't affect the RDoc output.

I'm thinking to muck around with the RDoc output's CSS anyway, so I'll
keep the background colour in mind.

I set the height to "auto" instead and am uploading v0.8.3.

I'd really appreciate it if you could investigate the fonts issue.
I've got no idea on that one.  It's not major, except that they do
come out a bit small on Mozilla and Galeon (hmmm... coincidence?),
which is a readability issue.  I think it's just that Times is smaller
than Verdana.  I think it's a bug in Mozilla, but am eager for someone
to prove me wrong.  I suppose I could do worse than to create a
representative example and submit a bug report.
