> Your fix to 441 is similar to the changes I made.  It definitely fixes my immediate problem, but it will only work if rico.js is loaded before Open Layers.  If OpenLayers is loaded first, we have different Rico problems.  Also, using your solution means that Rico.Corner and Rico.Color behave differently when OpenLayers is loaded second, because we will always use the OpenLayers version of Rico.Corner and Rico.Color.  This does not affect me at the moment, just a thought.

But this would require updating all other Open Layers code that uses the OpenLayers "Rico" object, including "Rico/Color.js".  In this manner we would not have the naming conflict.

This is probably the right way to go. I'll think about this before I ask
for review of the patch for #441.

Yeah, this needs further investigation, I agree.

I'm glad I could help!
