Yes, this is a know problem.  My main test site has been 
www.indegocomputer.de, it's got the same kind of brain dead design.

I'm trying to find a solution to this for 2.1.1, but it's still pretty poor 
web page design.  There are a lot of nice navigation applets that use just 
one applet.

Sun's java/linux guys told me about something else that may work, so I'm 
working on that.
