[Chameleon] Can't make the rubberband work -- Help!

[Mike Leahy]

Hello list,

Has this question been resolved at all?  I too have the same problem 
now, and downloading the CVS didn't help me either.  I notice that the 
chameleon.pkg.html that I got from the CVS still claims to be version 
2.0, rather than 2.2...perhaps there's a new branch?  Any suggestions?
