Thomas, with the feedback of Evan Hanson I realized that in order to set
the #content top border correctly I have to set the #menu position to
"relative". This brings back the problem of misalignment og the search box,
which in my opinion is the worst of the problems (please take a look to
Evan printscreens attached).

Another try that looks good here is using CSS3 box-shadow. This way we have
a more 'professional' look, menu and search box properly aligned and no
border.

What do you all think about this new version? I promisse this is the last
one :)

Best wishes,
Arthur
