This does bring me to another issue. Wouldnt it be possible to
actually make the whole site have a min-width, so if you go below

skin) rc pretty much becomes useless below a certain width.

Definitely worth a try. But would it really be more usable if
there's a horizontal scrollbar?

Dunno, but it's 1 complaint we get. users seem to interpret it as a
bug that the icons become unreachable when the search form moves over
it. Telling them the site needs a minimal width only gets us very
little sympathy :) Showing that minimal width may be an option. It
doesnt make the site more usable probably. I dont know which of the 2
is worse.

I would like to second that. From our experience, users would consider any such site/page/app just "broken", while the horizontal scrollbar is a clear, and familiar from other sites too, indication that *they* need to resize *their* window.
