Comment 15 for bug 325958

it is worth noting that there are a handful of netbooks that are
shipping with a 576px panel instead of a 600px. Of course this
complicates the problem even more :)

Perhaps some of these extra long strings can be moved on the right or
left of the entry boxes instead.

These netbooks don't appear to have any such deficiencies
horizontally, so there is plenty of real estate to capitalize upon if
necessary.
