I just deployed an update, and re-read this posting,
so I thought I'd fix some things.

I wrote this badly, and caused some confusion. I had to
downgrade to ShoreComponents-2.5, not Seaside-2.5.
My app doesn't use the canvas API of Seaside-2.6 and
ShoreComponents-2.6. Luckily, ShoreComponents-2.5 was
compatible with Seaside-2.6.

While in the config. app:

- Set "default entry point:" (2.6 only) to the your main app
   (Otherwise, if your image is restarted, you'll have to do
   it online, after each restart).
