float and clear issues

/** float and clear issues ***
I've seen placement behavior that I didn't expect in this theme,
namely stuff within the main content block placed below the
left nav column's material, leaving a big blank center region.
This seems to caused by the fact that the lefnav is
a "float" block on the left, and that other divs which
have "clear:both" set therefore go below the left-column ...
but I thought the stuff in the main content was embedded
and that the "clear" would only apply in the central region.
Anyway, my current fix is to override the drupal.css
style specs for these elements, setting clear:none or
something similar rather than clear:both.
I've tried to set the "float context" in center-column
with various tricks, but none worked conistently across browsers.
Tricks attempted included
1a) position: absolute;
1b) position: fixed (doesn't scroll properly)
2) display: table; (images within don't float properly)
3) display: block;
