Front Page Messed Up in Chrome

Something about the formatting of the Wiki's front page causes it to render severely messed up in Google Chrome (Chromium 13.0.782.107 on Gentoo).

There is a similar issue in Firefox (3.6.17), but it's not as bad. I get the feeling the box sizes are hard coded in absolute values somewhere, but I haven't dug into the CSS to check for sure.

I was initially going to mention this on the discussion page, but I don't have edit permissions.

It is also a bit screwed in latest FireFox. Was fine in 3.6x.

The boxes were using fixed sizes measured in px, while you had your computer's fonts set larger than expected. I changed them to fixed sizes measured in em to adapt better to font size.

For some reason, the left column is appearing below the main news.
