OK, this is now done.  The common categories and locales are in
navbar_categories.tt and navbar_locales.tt, which are INCLUDEd in navbar.tt
as described in the mail I started this thread with.

Also, every navbar "module" now has a CSS id (apart from "site name" and
"revision", which instead have classes for historical reasons - I'd like to
change this if people don't mind), so you can style as much as you wish.

Before I made these changes, there was quite a lot of very specific CSS
stuff for things like common_categories_title, common_category_link, etc -
you don't need to do this since you can access those elements with e.g.


    div#navbar_categories div.navbar_group_title {
      color: green;
    }

    div#navbar_locales ul a {
      color: red;
    } 


(For the interested, CSS changes are documented in README.CSS)
