ether/pad — Issue #305: "Horse blinkers" in default CSS

By default, etherpad's CSS has the following in /usr/share/etherpad/etherpad/src/static/css/pad2_ejs.css after line 13:

#padpage {
position: absolute;
top: 0px;
bottom: 8px;
left: 50%;
margin-left: -450px;
width: 900px;
}

This has the effect of making the display look "funny" on any window which is not 900 pixels wide: "horse blinkers" (unused bars left and right) on wide screens, and pad partially hidden without (!) scrollbars on small screens (such as the Nokia N900).

Just commenting out the entire paragraph makes the issue go away in both situations.

(copying the nano or micro pad2_ejs.css also solves the "horse blinkers" issue, but makes the sidebar disappear with no obvious way of making it re-appear)
