Would not a fixed-width design meet accessibility guidelines and work on
small, mobile screens if it used a fixed width based on ems instead of
pixels?  Seems to me the time of using pixels for layouts is as obsolete
as GTK using pixel layouts for buttons and other ui elements.  Many
fixed-width schemes these days actually now are in ems, so they look
correct when the font size is changed or the client screen DPI is higher
or lower.  For example:
