Sometimes you need to look in drupal.css or the source of the modules, which 
may include their own .css file.  In the .module files, look for <div> 
statements that have specific class or id settings.  Usually they are fairly 
predefined tags, but the particular theme you are using may not make use of 
them.  I did a quick search for them in the gallery module, but didn't see 
anything.
