yeah that's what I figured out now, too.

The proper solution obviously is to give all items a width. 
Unfortunately some items like the username or the workspace selector 
(when in offline workspace showing the enable FE preview checkbox) can 
differ in size... (will also happen with different length of labels due 
to translations!)

The more simple solution would be to drop support for IE6 as I also used 
   png icons with alpha channel...

unfortunately (for now) they're necessary to give drop down items like 
the clear cache a hight so that the background (especially when in 
active state) is shown properly.

all the best
