Are these boxes with text in them?  Since their size is determined by
the size of the actual text, the size may change if the font or font
rendering is different.  One of my hopes is to work with Pango or Cairo
to make it so that text can be marked as of a specific length, which
would solve this and a few related problems.  Not gonna happen in the
coming release, I'm afraid.
