If you see the following exception - "Request for permission of type..." when you try to open a page containing the editor, then you might need to modify the web.config of your SharePoint application and set the Trust level to at least Medium level. This can happen if you choose to deploy the editor solution to a single site (in the BIN folder) instead of to all sites (in the GAC).
