Finally, I'm in the kde-developers group on gitorious and hence able
to contribute again...

I just pushed a couple of commits implementing a float based column
layout that fixes various quirks of the old position:absolute based
one, without rearranging the order of the HTML content.
Yes, it turns out that *is* possible, thanks to the "Holy Grain of
Layouts" layout at http://www.alistapart.com/articles/holygrail

The only "downsides" of this float layout are, as far as I can see:
 - a wrapper div around the whole page content needed to be added
 - In order to change the width or horizontal spacing of a column,
multiple values in the CSS file need to be carefully changed (but this
is clearly documented through comments in the CSS).
 - it seems to mess up IE even more than it was before (but this
should probably be fixable, if necessary with a conditional IE-only
stylesheet)
 - the CSS is a little longer than before

Amilcar, Niko, is this acceptable?

(Note that the spacing around the main page content is too large now,
this is due to the main content currently consisting of "moduleentry"s
which take care of padding, whereas with the new column layout the
middle column div itself has the appropriate padding already, so once
the moduleentry's are removed and all pages converted to clean
"<h1></h1> <p></p> ... <h2></h2> <p></p> ..." markup, all should be
fine.)
