"poor web page design" is a bit extreme I think. The error occurs after different number of zoom ins for iceweasel and konqueror (different browsers, different zoom ratios maybe?). Zoom levels being different for different browsers, one can't define till how may zoom-ins the layout works. Plus after a few zoom-ins almost every page on the web becomes hard to read. Take for example the BBC News home page http://news.bbc.co.uk Text starts to jumble up because of breaking layout after 7 or 8 zoom-ins(iceweasel, mouse-wheel zoom). However, the page is easily readable with only 1 or 2 zoom-ins. Would I call it poor web page design? No. The layout breaking problem will occur for all pages at some point if your client allows you more zoom-ins. I would rather judge a page with: "Is the page readable after 2-3 zoom-ins(or 125% or 150%)"? The gallery menalto web page works fine for that criteria. I would consider the problem a bug(solution provided in other post) rather than name it poor web page design.
