 Since Text and RSS widgets set a negative margin in order to ensure an
 arbitrary width (400px), they can become partially hidden at certain
 viewports below roughly 420px wide. The window can't be scrolled or zoomed
 out to access the leftmost part of the controls, which can render them
 completely unusable by the 320px standard smartphone viewport.

 I recommend that we just let these default widgets fill the natural width
 of the sidebar they're in, regardless of viewport, for now. we need a
 better solution for 3rd party widgets eventually, perhaps removing the
 `width` control option or allowing scrolling to view that part of the
 control.
