Ok, most users don't like reading long lines. Probably you don't,
neither do I. But some users like it, and we don't know how much are
them.

A liquid layout would please any kind of users. People that don't like
long lines would surely resize to a smaller window. But people that
don't care with it will maximize the window. Nobody will get hurt doing
it.

Anyway, if they are "the graphics department", they will probably have
other arguments against it...
