Bug Description

Description:
---------------
There's text outside the viewable part of the screen and I'm sure it's not there deliberately :-) See the attached screenshot.
Most user won't see the text because it's outside the view-range, but at high resolutions like 2048 x 1152 you can.

To recreate:
----------------
1. In Firefox go to www.ubuntu.com
2. Choose View -> Zoom -> Zoom out
3. Redo step 2 a few times depending on your screen resolution

Code to be removed/edited:
--------
<div id="homemasthead">
  <div class="headings">
    <h1>Ubuntu 9.10 is here</h1>
    <h2>Free operating system for your desktop or laptop</h2>
  </div>
  <div id="slideshow"><div style="position: relative; z-index: 1;" id="slides"><div style="position: absolute; z-index: 2; opacity: 0;" class="slide slide1">&nbsp;</div><div style="position: absolute; z-index: 4; opacity: 1;" class="slide slide2">&nbsp;</div><div style="position: absolute; z-index: 2;" class="slide slide3">&nbsp;</div><div style="position: absolute; z-index: 2;" class="slide slide4">&nbsp;</div></div></div>
  <div class="bullets">
    <dl>

        <dt>Faster, smoother, more beautiful...</dt>
        <dd>New features, fixes and applications designed around you</dd>

        <dd>Store and share files and contacts in a couple clicks with Ubuntu One</dd>
    </dl>

  </div>
  <ul class="buttons">
    <li class="dl"><a href="/getubuntu/download">Download Ubuntu</a></li>
    <li class="tour"><a href="/products/whatisubuntu/910features">Take the tour</a></li>
  </ul>
</div>

The css which cause this problem is described in #block-block-57.

I made patch for this css.
I changed from "overflow: clip;" to "overflow: hidden".
Because "overflow: clip" is not a valid property in CSS 2.1.

In "Change is coming" theme, this bug is obsolete at least on Firefox.
By "opacity: 0" property is added, browsers which can understand opacity do not show the text.

I will close this bug as "Invalid"(obsolete).
