Problems placed grouped groups

Well, here's what I can report. Perhaps it'll help you track down the 
issue.

On OS X 10.3.8 with Rev 2.5.1:

When I create the main group baseControls and then break out some of 
its buttons as a separate, nested group whose backgroundbehavior is 
turned on (while that of the baseControls is not), creating a new card 
does not automatically place the nested group. I'd expect it would 
since its backgroundBehavior is set to true. But an attempt to place 
that nested group explicitly in the message box per your instructions 
does not place this group. Rather, it gives an error about Rev being 
unable to find the background.

I can hide and show and do other things to the nested group on the one 
card where it is created/located, but cannot, apparently, place it on 
another card.

So I presume you're using a different platform or version since you're 
seeing different behavior.
