Comment(by skierpage):

 I modified style.css as follows to get better behavior

 That limits the width of the content on a wide screen, giving you a right
 margin; but when space is tight the text doesn't go beyond the screen.
 It also gets rid of the ugly gray border.

 Images in the docs are too wide for rotated screen, e.g. in
 http://dev.laptop.org/~bjordan/manual/XO_Introduction.html  Hmmm...

 It might be good to also tweak the topic/index divs for the left TOC to be
 sized in ems or % or something; if you zoom text enough the text pushes
 through the orange background.  But Help-6 doesn't seem to have a zoom
 menu or keyboard shortcut anyway.

 There are good ideas in the alistapart link, that's solving a more
 complicated problem (the manuals have no right column)
