why prohibiting the horizontal scrollbar by default if needed by the 
displayed content? And why the 650px limit in bigDoc (or at all)? Just 
make it 100% and everybody is happy - it really sucks having only a 
small workarea on large screens and have it not adjustable for smaller 
ones. So simply use relative dimensions and not fixed px dimensions.

Same for the RTE - why not using the available screen width by default 
(setting 100% is not working like expected due to the wrapping table in 
TCEforms) - come one and finally arrive in the year 2009 where the 
output device can have more (or less) than 800x600px.
