It is possible to control the width of the left margin.  To do it via 
the website, hit the "configure" button and change the "label area 
width" setting.  To do it via a URL, add &hgt.labelWidth= (some number). 
  It's sometimes possible to figure out these setting names via our 
cartDump CGI: change the URL for your browser so that it reads: 
http://genome.ucsc.edu/cgi-bin/cartDump.  This will show any user 
settings that are currently in your cart.

We're looking at adding more explicit version control, but there is 
nothing like this available yet.

We dispensed with the default width when added automatic image resizing 
last fall:

So, the image width depends on the user's cart, and if there is no cart 
setting for the width, the "default" (of sorts) will be determined by 
the current width of their web browser window.
