There are no real workarounds, because the containers aren't
interconnected.

As you can see here...
<http://www.gunlaug.no/tos/alien/ap/test_08_0121.html>
...the overlapping _can_ be prevented on narrow windows, as the menu
stays in the green area and the main container centers
on wide windows - 1240 wide and beyond.
However, the whole line-up gets skewed on narrow windows, because only
#container acts on the "presence of #nav" and the other elements center
in the window on their own.

If you relax on the centering then the line-up is easy, as the main
containers can be floated left with a suitable margin-left to keep them
lined up.
