You always need help :-)

Guess Ingo means the usual problem: "how do we split a physical (or
logical) pixel on screen, without ever getting a gap".

Such gaps are easiest to make visible with Opera's zoom-option, since
10% steps rarely ever will match the physical (or logical)
screen-pixels. That's one more reason why I use Opera as design-base, as
I like to reveal any such weak spots before anyone else do --
recommended by Molly 't.c.' ;-)

One possible solution (that I often use) in float-layouts, is to make
the elements 1px too wide, and then use a negative side-margin of -1px
to make the elements overlap. Whether that's a front-side or backside
margin (or both) depends on the layout.
Such an overlap doesn't show when done right, and the "pixel-splitting
problem" gets covered up by it.

That's another possible solution - when the layout allows for it. It
often limits the freedom of laying out designs with a mix of layered
colors or background-patterns though.
