Installing under Panels 6.x-3.0 and CTools 6.x-1.0 seems to break the site theme.

Hi Michelle,
I've just done a fresh install of APK under the release versions of Panels (3.0) and CTools (1.0), and it seems that doing so breaks the site theme completely for the "user_view." If I create a regular page from Panels, it maintains the site theme, but if I use the user_view, all theming is removed except for the panel styles. If I view the page source, I can see that the site style sheets are being loaded, however soemthing that APK adds to the user_view causes them not to be applied to the content. The result is an all-text version of the page, with nice rounded corners on the user profile section.
To get around this, I've just uninstalled APK and kept only the profile form fields, uninstalled Panels and CTools, deleted them completely, then reinstalled them without enabling APK. The user_view is back to it's unconfigured default and I've created my panels manually, which has kept the site theme wrapper around them just fine.
Please don't make me send you a screen shot... :P
Thanks, and I think I hear someone calling for more juice in their sippy cup!

Did some more testing - I think it's just in IE8 and not FF3.5

IE has a known 30 style sheet limit. Try turning on CSS caching, clear your cache, and see if the problem goes away. If it does, the problem isn't APK, it's IE, and I can't fix that POS. :P

Yeah, definitely not an APK issue - sorry to bother you with it. I did a bit more experimentation, and the proplem only appeared when I attempted to apply styles to the panels, thereby breaching the 30-sheet limit.
Yes, IE is a big POS, but most of my site users are "uneducated", so I'll have to evangelize the benefits of using an alternate browser to them.
Thanks and take care!

Well, there's always the CSS compression. That takes care of IE but it's only useful when you're done fiddling with the CSS.
