Hi cj,
Aha! - But I wonder we are defeated now: are you really sure? I placed 
different images in the footer (can be done dynamically too, I think) / 
tried clientside different font-sizes. The footer is expanding, but not 
covering up the globe, because of the principle that the globe is always 
anchored [negative margin-top: his height + some distance] above the 
footer-position, and doesn't influence the height of the footer itself. 
With background-images in the footer that will be the same (someway 
assigning a height to the footer to get the bg-img in / or just cutting 
off). Or do I see it too simple?
See test pages: example a 
<http://home.tiscali.nl/developerscorner/css-discuss/z-index-problem-nw-a.html>,
 
example b 
<http://home.tiscali.nl/developerscorner/css-discuss/z-index-problem-nw-b.html> 
and example c 
<http://home.tiscali.nl/developerscorner/css-discuss/z-index-problem-nw-c.html>.
 
(with bg-img in footer)

Remaining remarks:
- Enlarging fontsize more as 3 steps in FF (quite a lot, though - and 
probably enough) breaks the general layout; in IE the max fontsize is o.k.
- Parts of the footer can go under the bottom of the screenheight - but 
that is not due to the globe thingy. I think it is more general: the 
relationship between the height of the footer and the min-height of the 
master-form (and the way how filling the footer).
