Thanks Tim

The list you provided is very useful!  I had mean to only ask about what 
people are using for "Rails + Radiant" but your reply is a bonus! :)

So, share_layouts is the way to go.  Can I clarify a couple of things?

[1] This would allow me to embed Radiant into a Rails application, 
right?  So, I could build a site around Rails and then use Radiant to 
manage the relatively static content, page caching, layouts, 
stylesheets, etc.  If so, this might be the perfect thing for one of the 
projects I have in mind.

[2] On the other hand, I'm planning to build an information site that 
stores manuals, etc. in HTML and lets people add comments, sign up as 
users, etc.  I guess my confusion is because really, the relatively 
static content is the core of the site, meaning that Radiant should be 
at the centre of the action!  Any guidance would be enlightening :)

Thanks all,
Mohit.
