OK, I retested it using Microsoft Internet Explorer 7 instead of Firefox,
and it would fine - the little applet loaded in less than a second and I could chose categories.

I guess OpenSource isn't always better

cheers for the tip!
I think I'll just keep using IE in the meantime though.

Even with the category picker working, that version is hugely laborious to use - you can only select one category at a time,
and have to keep clicking backwards and forwards in a very unintuitive way.
PLUS (more importantly), when I try to display lots of categories with a presentation template, it slows Alfresco down so much I have to just disable it again.
