Updates to jQuery Lightbox Version 0.3...?

I had a problem with the current version of JLightbox, where clicking on an Image thumbnail the lightbox "version" would popup and close as expected but when clicked a second time, the resulting popup image would NOT close (and only a page refresh would bring the original page back).

I've noticed that the current JLightbox module is build against the 0.2 version of the jQuery Lightbox from waren. I tried to:

• Substitute the jlightbox.js (provided with the JLightbox module) with the lightbox.js of the 0.3 version of Jquery Lightbox from waren (http://warren.mesozen.com/category/jquery/)
• change line 45 of jlightbox.module to load lightbox.js instead of jlightbox.js.
• change the references to the images in ligthbox.js:
  • fileLoadingImage : "/sites/all/modules/jlightbox/images/loading.gif",
  • fileBottomNavCloseImage:'/sites/all/modules/jlightbox/images/closelabel.gif

but unfortunately, although the original problem goes away (repeated open and close of the same image thumbnail works fine) now I am lacking the close image button at the bottom of the popped up image.

Bottom line is that further work must be done in order to update to the 0.3 version of jQuery Lightbox but I am at a loss on where to further change it.
