Never mind, found a fix, although I'm not entirely happy with it.
The revised site style is now on webdev, for those who have access.
Tim, due to the rearrangement of the page's geometry, your "donate!"
link has shifted out of place. I'll fix that later.

Looks good overall, however I prefer the non-italicised header links.
Was
there any previous discussion on that UI element? If not, what is the
rationale behind italicizing those links? I personally have a hard time
determining they are links instead of noninteractive headers when they
are
italicized.
The sequence went something like this, IIRC:
A few emails back, Alexandre asked that I underline the headers, because
he
didn't think they were sufficiently differentiated.
I didn't want to underline them because I was afraid it would suggest that
the
other links weren't links, if you see what I mean, so I italicized them
instead.
It was all mixed in with the discussion about the drop shadow.
