Regarding my question about removing the title and actions items (in case anyone is interested or has a better idea):
I haven't been able to find a way to remove the title from specific pages (like you easily can in Monobook) but I was able to remove the title from all pages along with the action items (discussion, history, etc,) right below it by removing the following from gumax.php (starting at line 217). Doing so still leaves the action items at the bottom for users who are logged in, which is really sweet:
<!-- gumax-content-actions -->
<div class="gumax-firstHeading"><?php $this->data['displaytitle']!=""?$this->html('title'):$this->text('title') ?></div>
<div class="visualClear"></div>
<?php //if($this->data['loggedin']==1) { ?>
<div id="gumax-content-actions" class="gumax-content-actions-top">
<ul>
<?php $lastkey = end(array_keys($this->data['content_actions']))
?><?php foreach($this->data['content_actions'] as $key => $action) {
?><li id="ca-<?php echo htmlspecialchars($key) ?>" <?php
if($action['class']) { ?>class="<?php echo htmlspecialchars($action['class']) ?>"<?php }
?>><a href="<?php echo htmlspecialchars($action['href']) ?>"<?php echo $skin->tooltipAndAccesskey('ca-'.$key) ?>><?php
echo htmlspecialchars($action['text']) ?></a><?php // if($key != $lastkey) echo "•" ?></li>
<?php } ?>
</ul>
</div>
<?php //} ?>
<!-- end of gumax-content-actions -->
