[imp] 3 things

Well, I'm thinking periodic stuff, like when the database server goes down.  IMP 
will still *run* if it cannot connect to the server for preferences, but not 
with the compression enabled.  You get the database errors and can't even log 
out after you've logged in--it's just the compressed garbage.  Being that 2.3 is 
the development version, sometimes I've gotten errors either because there is a 
new setting added in conf.php that I don't have set, or there is a new 
requirement/configuration for newer versions of PHP (session stuff comes to 
mind--I ran into this awhile back but didn't have time to pursue it) that 
reports errors.

I agree--there shouldn't be any errors.  Maybe I should just leave this off 
while I am working with the development version, as issues like I mentioned come 
up.  It's not a *big* deal, not being able to log out--closing the browser is 
adequate.  But I'm thinking if something ever does go wrong, users are sure 
going to freak out, getting that on their machine instead of a regular IMP 
screen prefaced by at least just a list of errors.  Of course, that could be 
partially related to PHP's method of error reporting.

Hrrm.  Could this be related to the dynamic css.php (that I don't know much 
about :-))?  Is there a setting in conf.php that I could be missing?

Thanks.
