 * Hello. I’m having a problem, wherein if I select Thickbox or Shutter in the effects
   panel, gallery thumbnails open up Thickbox or Shutter ON TOP of the default lightbox
   instead of replacing it. In other words, there are two lightboxes opening up 
   on top of each other.
 * Any ideas on why this is happening and how to fix it?
 * Thanks,
    Scott
