AllthoughI presented it as a fix for myself and konqueror. I meant it as
a fix in general. IMO the floated collapsed forms look and feel strange,
on konqueror particularly, bu in firefox too. Having them underneath
eachother is much nicer and friendlier. Worpress has that too: one
collapse per line.

For me -konqueror user- the floats on the "admin groups" of the node
edit  forms was always annoying. The textfields were inaccessible.
But witth the collapsible parts they becme even moer annyoing: They now
jump around on teh page when collapsed or folded out. 


This patch simply removes all the floats frolm these groups. 


I beleive theis looks and feels much better. It appears more stable on
your page. It feels more like one expects: only a single row of
collapses, instead of some odd row with columns. 


And last but not least: that part was amoungst the hardests to theme. I
think this is a good moment to get rid of them. 


Oh, and it removes quite some code/cruft from drupal.css :)

This seems a fair temporary fix for Konqueror, although it will affect
all browsers. In the long term we need to improve the layout of the
form itself.
