TPAC: saner layout needed

[Lebbeous Fogle-Weekley]

So we used a pretty skin as the foundation for getting the TPAC started, and that's great, but now we have very specific CSS using fixed widths and absolute positioning and other techniques that make adding, removing, and reordering components unduly difficult.

If we want to add something to the left side of an interface, it should be easy. There's no reason that it should push other content off the white-background part of the interface into some wasted grey margin area on the right.

That's the kind of problem we don't need to have, so this bug will serve as a place where we can discuss commits that progress us towards more manageable css and layout.

Also as part of this, we still have tons of inline styles to replace with semantic classes. It's just a lot of grunt work, but we can get it done.

Join in the working branch at collab/dbs/tpac-non-fixed-width to help address some of these issues.

I'd like to see this branch merged, as I have made a number of commits that will likely end up causing conflict with other more functional branches. "git log --first-parent" will show approximately 15 commits to this branch that provide an evolution towards a saner, non-fixed width layout.

There is certainly still plenty to be done, but the potential for duplicated effort & conflicts grows the longer that this stays out of master.

Looks good in a quick battery of testing. Pushed!
