That's me.

Cool!  Too bad it doesn't stick when you click on a different link.

Also, one thing I really hate about CSS is that it's too easy to mix
sizes in pixels with auto sizes, and then boxes will overlap.  That
happens here in a number of places when the window is too narrow.  It
should get a horizontal scroll bar if it really doesn't fit, but first
it should try to fold text rather than make it stick out of the boxes.

Examples:

- The tree widget in "navigation" can have long name
  (e.g. ++etc++Services) that don't fit if the window is too narrow

- When showing the configuration
  (/++etc++services/Packages/default/configure, the service boxes
  stick out of their surrounding box on the right

- Ditto for the content listing of the default package.
