Comment 3 for bug 405916

Hi Martin.

yui-g, yui-u, and first combinations are very problematic with content that may not render:

This is what happens:

So explored a simple two column approach where the guaranteed portlets are first:

But this can still look bad in the extreme cases.

So I tried this, two columns on guaranteed, a page width of optional, then two columns of optional

My last effort does require a lot more thinking on the part of the engineer. the middle fix is actually the easiest implementation we can take with migrate to 3.0
