Fixed width is stupid. Period. I'd appreciate it if this could be
changed to a relative width of the central column OR a fixed width of
the borders.

Also, the width for the fonts either assumes pixel width or uses fixed
point width. Since I'm pretty sure no one will understand what I'm
talking about, have a look at this [1].

Note how the Support and languages wrap around. This is because my DPI
of:
screen #0:
  print screen:    no
  dimensions:    1680x1050 pixels (331x210 millimeters)
  resolution:    129x127 dots per inch

I'll take a look at the CSS stuff, but I'm no expert ...
