Thanks, Fuzz! Glad to hear it.
@drye: This seems to be a common misconception about the ImageGallery. The templates that come with it are not by any means intended for use in the final production of your site. They're merely there to get you started and show you the basic template controls. You're free to handle the output of the gallery any way you want.
Of course, it would be nice if in the Configuration tab, you could choose "None" for the popup UI to avoid Javascript conflicts. :-)
