Dragging it shouldn't make it disappear.  But it will disappear as
soon as it loses focus.

David made that suggestion and I think it is not too bad.  It helps
you to keep track of the descriptive text because the original page
will not vanish completely while looking at the screenshot.

The "people hate popups" argument was the rationale for implementing a
way to get rid of the popup window easily, i.e. as soon as it loses
focus.  And opening the screenshot in a full-scale new window just
looks ugly.  If you don't like the popup, you can just click the
middle mouse button in Firefox which will prevent the popup from
opening and show the screenshot in a new tab.

Thanks.  I still have this craving for a really white background of
the main content area but haven't yet found a color scheme to make it
look good.

This could be changed easily if PHP was available.  But as it is not,
I have to make do with a shell script to assemble the pages.  And as I
haven't regarded the self reference a big problem, it is not
implemented in that shell script.
