 * I have wordpress 3.2.1 and Shadowbox 3.0.3.8. On any of the wordpress sites I
   have tried this plugin, the navigation buttons don’t work. The “X” doesn’t close
   it, but clicking on the background overlay does close it. I tried typing “Shadowbox.
   close()” in the console and it did nothing.
 * If I disable shadowbox-js plugin and just load my own shadowbox.js file then 
   the “X” does work, and typing “Shadowbox.close()” into the javascript console
   closes it.
 * I am using the default shadowbox-js settings.

 * Oh, nevermind, it’s because I have a widget that’s calling another copy of shadowbox.
   I tried it on a barebones wordpress install and the shadowbox plugin works, and
   then I added my widget and it stopped working.
