Hi Paul,
I have had this problem before, where I had to set the font-size to 0pt to
prevent unwanted space before and after images.
All that it requires is an fo:block with this property:
<fo:block font-size="0pt"/>
If you're customizing the header.content template, simply surround the
desired content with one of these fo:blocks; i.e:
<xsl:template name="header.content">
...
<xsl:when test="$sequence = 'first'">
<fo:block font-size="0pt">
...content...
</fo:block>
</xsl:when>
...
</xsl:template>
I think that will be all that is necessary... by specifying font-size="0pt"
on a block within a header table cell, I don't think you will actually need
to do anything to the table-cell itself. If you find that this doesn't
work, however, and you'd like to try customizing the table-cell itself, then
search pagesetup.xsl for the template called header.table. Copy it to your
customization layer, and work with it as necessary.
I hope that helps.

Hi Bob,
Only got back to this problem now.... I tried your suggestion, and the
result is at
http://img175.imageshack.us/my.php?image=headerwithcolorle3.png. It just
seems that something is forcing space before (and indeed, a small amount
of
space after) the left-hand graphic. (The yellow and blue colors indicate
the
left-most and right-most cells in the header table, respectively, while
the
left-hand pink indicates the background of the graphic). Nothing in the
.fo
file seemed to indicates where this space is from.
Then I remembered an answer you gave to a previous question I had about
unwanted space before graphics
(http://www.nabble.com/forum/ViewPost.jtp?post=9620007&framed=y) so I
edited the .fo and, for the header cell containing the graphic, set both
line-height and font-size to zero. That works! Result is here:

Unfortunately, I have _no_ idea how to do this in my custom layer. The
instructions at
http://www.sagehill.net/docbookxsl/PrintHeaders.html#PrintHeadersTextdon't
seem to indicate that such a problem might happen, and only describes how
to
specify the content of the cells, and not the attributes of the cells
themselves. Any ideas? Is there perhaps a setting in my custom layer which
is causing this problem?
Thanks,
P.
