Trac FCGI URL Frustration

I’ve never tried this before, and I kind of doubt anyone who actually knows the answer will see this, but I figure it’s worth a shot:

Dear Lazyweb,

Trac (running as an FCGI process under Lighttpd on my TextDrive hosting) insists on putting a prefix url (default /trac/) in front of the actual URL of my trac project. Nothing would give me more pleasure than to be able to access a trac installation at “trac.arko.net”, but I am forced to use “trac.arko.net/trac/”. The links to stylesheet, images, wiki pages, everything, all stay /trac/link, even though /trac isn’t in the configuration anymore. Why, for the love of all that is good and holy, do all the links break if I take out /trac from the FCGI configuration?

Your sincere admirer,
Andre

P.S. Here is the lightty configuration, just in case it might help:
Liquid error: No such file or directory – posix_spawnp

Update: I am not alone! I am just bad at searching this new-fangled intar-web thingy. Behold, the Trac ticket for my very problem. The downside is that no one’s touched it for months. Grr.
