It would only cause the problem to changes a lot of code. I wouldn't mind 
doing this if I was sure that it would be the correct solution.
What  is bothering me is that it worked fine with a fresh CMF using the 
default skins - the links in the top pointed at www.mydomain.com instead of 
folder.mydomain.com
I have used the same RewriteRule so I'm a bit confused on that the differences 
are :-)

I will try that

After 1.5 years of Python, I'm still discovering 
richness (and still unable to understand what the 
hell Jim Fulton is talking about).
