"plg_rsg2_display_j15_0.3" conflicts with "sparkline" template (lightbox error)

PHP Version: 5.2.5
Web Server: Apache/2.2.6 (Win32) PHP/5.2.5
Web Server to PHP interface: apache2handler
Joomla! Version: Joomla! 1.5.3 Production/Stable CLEAN INSTALL
User Agent: Firefox-2.0.0.14 / IE6 / IE7 / OPERA 9.25

rs: com_rsgallery2_legacy_1.14.3
display: plg_rsg2_display_j15_0.3
sparkline: rsg2_template_sparkline._svn_rev_681

=====================================================

sparkline works excellent until you try to render it with display plugin.
page is rendered properly, than if you click on thumbnail, lightbox tries to load but crashes - no transparent overlay, no image, no caption, just loading gif for a second and than white rectangle. and following error message in the console repeatedly...
it seems like there is some conflict in js properties:

(firefox error console:)
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
error: effect.options has no properties
source: http://localhost/154/components/com_rsgallery2/templates/sparkline/js/effects.js
line: 546

error: effect.element has no properties
source: http://localhost/154/components/com_rsgallery2/templates/sparkline/js/effects.js
line: 689
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

since i'm really not a javascript-guru i was not able to trace what's up.
it occures on both of joomla default templates ("rhuk_milkyway" and "beez") and it's browser independent

this is conflict of sparkline's lightbox scripts and joomla's mootools.js

problem is that mootools.js is loading unnecessaryly in the frontend - automaticaly with <jdoc:include type="head" />

does anyone know how to prevent loading mootools.js in frontend while keep loading it in the backend where it's necesary?

Or better yet, get them to play together nicely. the microMacro template would work then as well.

Due to time constraints, I have taken a step back from RSGallery2. In the event of an emergency, you will need to PM me.

this is what i've found on joomla support forum. it removes first script in head. it's quite unbelievable that this is official way to remove mootools. there is no safe way to remove it before it loads.

Code:

<?php
$headerstuff = $this->getHeadData();
// mootols are usually found as the very first entry
reset($headerstuff['scripts']);
$moo = key($headerstuff['scripts']);
// kick it
unset($headerstuff['scripts'][$moo]);
// restore
$this->setHeadData($headerstuff);
?>

and if you run it twice, you remove even caption.js - quite funny.

however, it works.
