There are 3 items selectable for header and footer.
If an item becomes too long it is cutted.

Often long URLs are cutted, although there's enough space when entries are
aligned more carefully.

The space alotted is either 100%, 50% or 33%, having it work harder at getting
them to fit would be nice.

Note: implementing CSS3 Paged Media's margin box model would fix this.

I guess this depends on bug 286443 (or one of its blockers) then.
