you guys must be doing something wrong just sent my changed tiny_mce.js to c-m and in his installation ist works perfect as well.
I add some more code lines so you can see where you have to make the changes.
HTML 4.01 Transitional//EN">',visual_table_class:'mceItemTable',visual:1,inline_styles:true,convert_fonts_to_spans:true,font_size_style_values:'xx-small,x-small,small,medium,large,x-large,xx-large',apply_source_formatting:1,directionality:'ltr',forced_root_block:false,valid_elements:'@[id|
this is the way you have to change it and it works perfect.
