the problem is that llap is not working well inside a vbox (i changed the hsize adaption to left/rightskip but it's still not going well)
The worst problem I have had with the old backgrounds is that they (seem to) take the size of 'currently floating' floats into account when deciding whether or not to go to the next page. This quite often resulted in half-empty pages; naturally followed by an overful float page two pages in-the-future. And there were the typical problems from \vsplit where too much or not enough gets cut off, of course. The textbackgrounds do not have these problems, so I am very happy with the example code you gave me (if the science is too hard, i happily settle for the magic :-)). Thanks, Taco
