revbrowser issue

[Thomas McGrath III]

Ben and Jim,

On windows I had a problem getting revBrowser to draw the window or if  
it did draw it would be white but links would be active as Ben states  
below. However, I was using a windowShape and once I removed any  
transparency in the image used for the shape it is now working fine.

Once this was done my revBrowser windows act as expected.
