Thanks, David. That worked.

I was able to whittle it down to:
        *:first-child+html #content-wrapper,
        *:first-child+html #main-wrapper
        {z-index:10;}

Even the following is not required:
        *:first-child+html #content-wrapper #sidebar {
        z-index:-1;
        }

...and it actually works with just the main-wrapper reference, but the 
dimensions change slightly, so other fixes would be required in its absence.

So thanks again; you've been very helpful with the several issues I've brought 
forth since joining the list.

But could you please explain the logic by which this works, as opposed to just 
a direct reference to #main-wrapper?

Thanks,
Rick Gordon
