So, just to be clear, with that directive above, everything returned to the 
user will be generated within the constraints of the theme mysite_theme_id 
(i.e. use its main_template).  Whereas if use_main wasn't set or was set to 
'no' then only those templates called from that template would get the 
theme mysite_theme_id.

The next request that comes in that doesn't use that template would get the 
standard theme.

My only nitpick would be that it should be set_main, instead of 
use_main.  Makes a little more sense imho, as you're not using the main 
template, but you're setting the main template for that processing.  Maybe 
even set_main_this_request though thats a little unwieldy ;)  set_main is 
fine...



>(Even more sugar: instead of needing to remember an ID for 
>'mysite_theme_id' you can specify a name which is then looked up in the 
>'default_objects' server configuration section...)

That would be good.

For now then I'll just change the theme of the whole site to match for 
those particular pages, and create a special admin.html page that gives me 
all the admin links I need.

Thanks.
