I simply see no better placement which does not destroy the whole layout even 
more, the placement on usability is even worse if you try it with this 
layout, as the combo will be much to big for the menubar.

If you have wrong settings for your relative sized fonts, that can't be fixed 
on the server side. Here it looks with default kde 3.1 just perfect and at 
work it looks in IE 6 good, too. (And in kde 3.1 at work, too) If the fonts 
are to big on your system that is a local problem, not a problem of our CSS 
file nor of our code. Perhaps simply your dpi settings for X11 are to low  
(like 75 instead of 100) or the settings are totally borked.
