And here are my brain-storming ideas:
* Reinstate the link bar on the left, using the same "mini-page" layout[1],
but as a tall box extending all the way.
* Keep the little boxes with shorter blurbs (those I like), but only have
one column of them (takes care of the balancing problem), which re-flows
properly to the browser width. Make them link to longer texts with "Read
more".
* Remove the texts in the "News" and "Security alerts" boxes; instead make
the "captions" into links to their corresponding pages.
* The last box is redundant; put the sitemap in the top navbar (where it
belongs) alongside the search. These are two most important pages.
* Perhaps we should move the translation links somewhere else, perhaps
somewhat like the EU does on their pages, where they mostly are in the
top-right corner (which would bring them close to the mirrors, which I
like).

[1] In reality I hate "mini-page layouts", but if that's what people want,
well...
