First nit: "make upgrade" fails, because rt-server doesn't already exist
in the old installation.  Copying it in by hand makes it all better, of
course.

Second issue: IPC::Run::SafeHandles is missed in the dependencies if
GraphViz is enabled.

Third issue (probably not widespread): if you use an external
authentication mechanism like PubCookie, GraphViz images don't show in
Safari (Firefox does the right thing) because when Safari load the
"image", it really gets an HTML page re-directing it to the auth server,
which will eventually send it back to the original location with an
improved cookie, which will then load the image.  It's sad, really.  I
blame Safari.

With MSIE 6.0.2900.blahblahblah there is some minor, but annoying
overlap of all the panes containing tickets on the RT at a Glance page.

The ticket view is *great* except for an overlap in Comments where the
first word of the comment overlaps the dark blue box with the #.


This looks great!
