Questions About Groups.Module

I was wondering if anyone has been testing or using Gerhard Killesreiter's Groups module for extended permissions with any success.

I had worked on a module for Drupal 4.0 called node_access, which allowed for rudimentary atomic per-node permissions, and was considering how to best port it to 4.2; however, I ran into a few problems and simultaneously noticed the groups.module here. So for the last few days I've been installing and re-installing it to see if it can do what I need.

However, I've run into a few odd occurrences, and wondered if anyone else had any insights.

Here's what I've done (several times):

I downloaded the latest CVS versions of both Drupal and groups.module. I created a new drupal database from database.mysql, registered as user#1, created a taxonomy according to the instructions in the groups.module INSTALL file with a single hierarchical tree, like this:

unregistered
--registered
---members
----board
-----admin

Our site is for a nonprofit, so we have anonymous (unregistered) browsers, browsers who have registered but are not members, members, our board of directors, and then admin (me).

Most of the site content is available to all. But some is available only to members, and administrative functions are restricted to admin.

Next I patch the database with groups.mysql, enable the groups module, configure it to use the taxonomy I have created, make "unregistered" the term for anonymous users, apply module.patch and run generate-utids.php to give the one existing account (me, the admin, user #1) a tid for the group "admin".

Ahoy!
So I'm trying to make it so that it's clear what section of my site the user is in (simple tabbed interface will do). I was quite taken by the plone theme, but most of the tabs didn't work when I tried to deploy it on my website (not sure what was wrong there: the plone theme isn't distributed via drupal, and I think it's still in beta).
Anyway, the style module seemed like just the ticket when I noticed the following text in the "expert view" (I'm using the polder theme, btw). "One can also change the theme depending on the webbrowser used, and the page visited."

Well, I am in the process of setting up drupal for my family. Kind of like a wiki but for the not so savvy. The thing is, is that I only want the content to be viewed when you sign in i.e. no guest account. I also dont want all the nodes, or forums and such to be displayed when you go to the site. I was wondering if there is a way to change the "Access Denied, You are not authorized to access this page." Maybe some sort of greetter, or a picture or somehting. Is this possable?? Please e-mail to let me know. Thank You, Mike

Everytime I post a story, or static page, If I have any quotes (',",etc.), something is adding an escape character '\' preceeding the quote. How can I get rid of this? Where in the code is this happening? Any help would be greatly appreciated!!!

Example:

I think I'd like to buy that.

Links are even worse.

I have a drupal-cvs site, regularily updated, and I finally hit a snag. I usually have caching on, and I use the htmltidy module to tidy up the generated xhtml. But somehow, the htmltidied files are not cached, and the next visit shows the untidied source. If I leave caching on, my pages will not validate.

My version of the htmltidy module is:
// $Id: htmltidy.module,v 1.11 2003/04/28 00:43:32 almaw Exp $

Is there any way I can get drupal to cache the tidied version?
