[opencms-dev] Disable lock stealing

[Bart Elberg]

Thanks Alex, that is the solution!!  So the templates and code I was 
looking at must be old and no longer used for the non-Backoffice parts 
of OpenCms?  By the way, I also changed the entry for the menu 
separators from :

    addMenuEntry(resource_id, 
"-",                                              " 
",                                    "''",   "rules_key(d d aaaa aaaa 
aaaa aaaa aaaa)");

to:

    addMenuEntry(resource_id, 
"-",                                              " 
",                                    "''",   "rules_key(d d aaaa aaaa 
dddd dddd dddd)");

so that the separator only shows up when there is a menu entry above it.

Any chance this is going to be in the documentation anytime soon?
