I'm stuck on 1024x768 and I use Gkrellm in a column down the right side,
so I'm always a bit shy of the full width ... plus I don't always have
the browser maximized.

In my experience, many users don't shift from their default resolution.
Considering how often this is 1024x768, we should strike for a width
assumption that is a bit narrower.  Myself, I'm most comfortable with
900 wide.  People who are using 800 wide displays are used to broken
pages by now.  ;-P

Shift them to vertical or make them smaller, perhaps.

Significant numbers.  I've seen similar before.
