Subject: geckofixes.css harmful on linux

Hello,

http://www.postgresql.org//layout/css/blue/geckofixes.css included from 
http://www.postgresql.org/layout/js/geckostyle.js included from e.g. 
http://www.postgresql.org/docs/8.1/interactive/datatype.html , says

     /* Gecko is broken with pre,tt,code sizes */

and then proceeds to break pre,tt,code sizes for me on Gecko (firefox, 
linux). That is, the fixed width text in documentation is 
disproportionately large unless the rules specified in that file are 
dropped (the editcss extension is practical for testing fwiw).

Konqueror calls itself "like Gecko" in its useragent so it's also hurt 
by geckofixes.css. Also, safari calls itself "like Gecko" iirc, but I 
don't have one to test with.

I tested on win98 and had someone test on winxp that geckofixes.css does 
appear to do the right thing on windows. I suggest sniffing for windows 
OS in geckostyle.js so that geckofixes.css is only applied to gecko on 
windows, where it's needed.

't.
