In MacOS X, I also see some differences in the right margins depending upon how 
many widgets an object is embedded in.  Unfortunately the variance in right 
margin doesn't show up in the preview for MacOS X.  Which makes me wonder if 
there are also variances between the preview and what is actually rendered for 
other platforms.

In any event, I'll try to construct a clean layout for MacOS X, and email it to 
you to check in Ubuntu.  Meanwhile, feel free to email me a layout to test in 
MacOS X.
