gallery bug + enhancement: number of columns

[Denis-de-Bernardy]

the current implementation theoretically allows to do something like this:

1st post: (3- column gallery)

[gallery]

2nd post:

[gallery columns="2"]

trouble is, both galleries will end up with 2 columns in this case... so it's misleading.

also, it would be nice to be able to define the default number of columns without needing to edit the shortcode of each post. an option under Settings / Miscellaneous would be nice.

in case this wasn't obvious, the two posts above would of course be on the blog's front page, and the style stuff probably belongs in the head area.

also, this ticket is related in many ways:

The styling needs to be in the head, right now it causes xHTML validation problems (take a look at any of matt's gallery pages).

I ran into a dup of this ticket the other day. the gist of it was: make the css gallery-specific. as in:

gallery id would be gallery-$ID

and:

#gallery-$ID {
  /* css */
}
