Using my method above, you shouldn't have to make any other changes.
Essentially, back out of what you did according to the Wiki
instructions, ie, don't make any custom edits to the css files and
return the autohandler file to default.

As far as RT_SiteConfig, get rid of any $Logo references you may have
in that config.  Also, make sure you have the following in
RT_SiteConfig:

Set($WebImagesURL , $WebPath . "/NoAuth/images/");
