Subject: [PATCH] IE will not catch events on a div which has no content in it.
 (Why? Who knows!) However, if we set a background on the div, it works -- but
 not if that background is transparent. It has to have some thing. So, if
 we're in IE, we use our handy dandy notebook!, er, blank.gif, to populate a
 background so that the EventPane will work.

If someone can fix this, please do.
