I need to increase the width of the menu-page to fit longer labels properly. Any ideas how best to do this?
Do you mean the width of the menu? If so:
From a generated page I find:
<!--+
|start Menu, mainarea
+-->
<!--+
|start Menu
+-->
<div id="menu">
Looking in the screen.css for the pelt skin I find:
#menu {
position: relative;
float: left;
width: 160px;
padding-top: 0px;
top:-18px;
left:10px;
z-index: 20;
background-color: #f90;
font-size : 70%;
}Note the width settings in those classes.

So my guess would be that if you redefine the relevant classes in extra-css in your skinconf.xml you'll manage what you need.
