Tim,

Could you try using the timelineConstructor attribute like so:

    <div ex:role="view"
       ex:viewClass="Timeline"
       ...
       ex:timelineConstructor="myTimelineConstructor"
       ></div>

and add

    <script>
       function myTimelineConstructor(div, eventSource) {
          ...
       }
    </script>

For other settings of the timeline view, please see

    http://simile.mit.edu/wiki/Exhibit/2.0/Timeline_View

As for putting the event labels within the event bars, I'll put that 
back in later... Sounds like you're not the only one who wants the old 
layout :-)

As for map markers not being translucent in IE6, I'm not sure why that 
is. I'll try to take a look when I get a chance. IE6 is known to not 
handle translucent PNGs natively, but I thought Google Maps had a trick 
to get that working.

Cheers,

David
