Hi Bob,
Only got back to this problem now.... I tried your suggestion, and the result is at
http://img175.imageshack.us/my.php?image=headerwithcolorle3.png. It just seems that something is forcing space before (and indeed, a small amount of space after) the left-hand graphic. (The yellow and blue colors indicate the left-most and right-most cells in the header table, respectively, while the left-hand pink indicates the background of the graphic). Nothing in the .fo file seemed to indicates where this space is from.
Then I remembered an answer you gave to a previous question I had about unwanted space before graphics (
http://www.nabble.com/forum/ViewPost.jtp?post=9620007&framed=y) so I edited the .fo and, for the header cell containing the graphic, set both line-height and font-size to zero. That works! Result is here:

http://www.sagehill.net/docbookxsl/PrintHeaders.html#PrintHeadersText don't seem to indicate that such a problem might happen, and only describes how to specify the content of the cells, and not the attributes of the cells themselves. Any ideas? Is there perhaps a setting in my custom layer which is causing this problem?
Thanks,
P.
