The problem seems to be that, in monobook, everything in the left rail is a child of #column-one, but so are some other elements which aren't in the left-rail. That causes some things to lose alignment, such as the top tabs. But I think the reason it's not widening the bar is because it's (for one reason or another) not applying the style to the classes that make up the left rail.

The whole problem is that the left rail doesn't actually have any kind of container, like a div. It's just made of those elements and they're all individually sized and positioned to look like a rail. There needs to be a div container in order to resize all the contents dynamically. Otherwise you have to do every item in there individually.

I'll try to devise a solution for that. I think JavaScript may hold the answer.
