Perfect, thanks! I think you spoon-fed me a fix for a problem that
was substantially like this one, a couple of months ago... but I didn't
really understand it, and so I didn't remember it.
I guess what is happening is that Exploiter essentially treats 'width'
like 'min-width', thereby nullifying 'overflow: visible', right? So
now we're going to say "OK, and by the way this thing needs to have
negative 25px of space from its right border to the next-rightmost
element" — which in this case is the container. In other words, we're
constraining the container's right border to actually come in to the
left of the footer's right border, making Exploder scroonch the
container width back down to the size we want.
Something along those lines?
