[ka-Map-users] recent cvs updates

[Paul Spencer]

Jacob,

draggable keymap is definitely broken, not sure what the problem is.

toolbar icons are missing because of a missing css file.

not sure what the png problem is, IE only displays 24bit pngs  
incorrectly, it shouldn't be broken.

Cheers

Paul
