 * Can I set URLs to use just the postname and not the post type? (I tried to leave
   Rewrite Slug blank, but it didn’t work)

 * Yes, you should be able to do that: edit your permalink settings for the site
   to make sure they’re working and then edit the URL settings for the post-type’s
   in questions. I did some updates to this on the dev branch that will be released
   in 0.9.7.
 * I do have to say that I loathe the way WP handles URLs. If you need URL flexibility,
   I strongly recommend MODx — it’s light-years ahead of WordPress in this area.

 * Remember: WP’s permalink settings are not global. You must also edit the URL 
   settings for each post-type.
