I'm using konqueror 3.2.3 from the sourceforge kde on redhat project running 
on RH 9.

I have a high res monitor, so I have to use large fonts.  (IMHO this is an X 
stupidity.  A 10 point font should be a 10 point font regardless of the 
monitor resolution.  But instead, a 10 point font is almost unreadable to me.  
I have my medium font size set to 13 and my minimum set to 11.  I use the 
default stylesheet.

My fonts are:
standard: Sans
fixed: Monospace
Serif: Bitstream Vera Serif
Sans serif: Bitstream Vera Sans
Cursive: URW Chancery L
Fantasy: URW Chancery L

I suspect that my large fonts are destroying your layout.  Is there a way you 
can not hard code the layout?

If you'd like a screenshot I can provide one.
