Ubiquity messing with Stylish and GM's "Space" in not good way.

<style type="text/css"> /* if you see this, Get Satisfaction has no style */
p+p{text-indent:6pt} </style>
This is a nasty "Gotcha", with ubiquity. Some few weeks ago I had installed several commands in stylish. I had a popup by Ubiquity saying that it had a command to install it for me...did I want to try it... I thought, sure.

Well, the Stylish button didn't go away and say it was installed, and it didn't appear in my Stylish menu.

The SAME could have happened with GM scripts, except that on a stylish page, UBQT gave priority to the STylish commands it saw and kept offering to install them (even though it had just installed the darn things! Talk about zero feedback! I tried a couple of Stylish commands before I gave up on Ubiquity being able to actually install the stylish commands -- I went ahead and installed them in Stylish as normal.

Unbeknownst to me, Ubiquity had tucked away my stylish scripts in its own private stash where they could not be managed by Stylish's normal interface.

This created MAJOR headaches when some 'novelty' styles (restyling google/wikipedia to look like a Star Trek LCARS display), I had loaded for amusement amusing - not long term use, were unable to be 'turned off'.

Or the 'glass' effect on google (which just turns it black on XP), made my typing in the search box, a beautiful, black on black -- and thus only readable by typing it in and then triple clicking on the selection box to highlight it -- not the most usable interface.

I had disabled every style and every script in both userstyles and greasemonkey, thinking something in them was at fault. I even disabled the extensions and finally removed them.

It still didn't go away. I tried safemode, resetting my defaults, my options, my brain, disabling all addons -- that worked. Unfortunately, at that point left with a rather pitiful shadow of a browser compared to what I had been running. Worse -- since I had reset my defaults -- all the extensions got their settings reset as well -- and re-enabling them block by block, it *appeared* that stylish was at fault -- don't know if this was a caching issue, or maybe I enabled ubiquity with stylish in the same block -- way too may extensions to enable one by one -- as each requires a reboot (Really, FF/TB/SB really need to optimize that process and allow for dynamic removal w/o reboots [of the programs]).

Note:

Some power [ab?]users like me have over 100 *active* extensions (I keep another 30+ disabled because I don't use them regularly but can think of times I might want to use them, so I leave them installed -- easier than finding where I installed them and reinstalling, but faster performance to leave them disabled).

Anyway -- you can hopefully see the problem. I didn't find out till today -- when I finally found the LCARS styling on wikipedia irritating enough to track down the problem -- in ubiquity! It had kept the commands I thought I had disabled in stylish, "active" in it's own separate database.
This is just plain *BADNESS*...EVIL (in a twisted way)...

Ubquity should not keep a *separate* database of stylish (or greasemonkey) commands where they cannot be managed by the normal interfaces. It's a major violation of user expectations and usability.

*IF*, the user does not have Greasemonkey or Stylish installed, and then they want to use UBQT to install those commands and let UBQT manage them, that's fine - but later, if the user installs GM or Stylish, UBQT should drop it's commands into the appropriate manager. Honestly -- that's what I thought it was doing when I tried to install the stylish (or GM) scripts with Ubiquity -- just a different interface. I'd no idea why it didn't seem to work or why stylish didn't recognize the the command as being installed (button to install goes away -- says, instead "installed in stylish).

*Maybe*, if the install button had gone away and it said "installed in Ubiquity, I'd have had none of these problems...but as it was, it was totally hidden away from my expected places to look for Stylish commands (or GM scripts).
