Thanks! I've pulled the changes, and built with the new CSS file. The 
horizontal scroll bar goes away for many of my pages, but when they're 
wide (wide graphics, program listings, etc.), it reappears (of course), 
and the effect with contents sliding under the left pane comes back. So 
I'm afraid adjusting the minimum width didn't fix the issue.

Also, I noticed that positioning.css has grown significantly since the 
last time I pulled the snapshots (about 12 days ago). The size has 
tripled, and from looking at (my) svn diff this is due to the fact that 
many, many lines have been added that set colors (for tr, th, div, span, 
and many other elements). These look like inadvertent changes to me, 
because they would effectively "hard-code" colors in the layout.

Cheers,

Stefan
