Problem 1 (sawmill.themes.org) works for me using 2000012812 on Windows 98 SE.

http://sawmill.themes.org/ dislays fine for me, too, with the latest build.

This is a backwards compatibility issue. The TD has a fixed width of 150, and 
there are two floated elements in the cell: one of width 8 and one of width 150. 
They don't fit next to each other and so we're doing what CSS says which is move 
the second one below the first. Unfortunately that isn't what Nav does...

I think this is a post-beta compatibility issue.  marking M16.

The problem with sawmill.themes.org was bug 20185, the second problem is
completely unrelated. please file unrelated bugs as seperate reports.

we are unlikely to fix this poor behavior.  The cell is as wide as it's told to 
be, the floaters are sized correctly, and CSS says to place one floater beneath 
the next if they don't fit in their container.  The source of the page should be 
fixed (it's a trivial fix, just set the size on the TD correctly.)

eric, care to send out a note to the folks at http://gtkmm.sourceforge.net/  ?
