Exactly. Declaring a width _there_ using an absolute-sized unit - px,
turns it into a fixed-width layout.

Once you declare a fixed 'width' on a container, elements inside it will
have a fixed width - fixed relatively to that container-width or on
their own. Declaring 'min-width' anywhere doesn't have any effect in any
browser in such a scenario, since the width itself doesn't change no
matter what.

A 'min-width' on an element will override 'width' only if 'width' is
smaller than 'min-width' for that element. That happens only if the
'width' is flexible - one way or another, or a too small 'width' is
declared.
