swipeview progressively more offset

The longer you leave the homepage open, the more the swipeview container active tile gets incorrectly offset.

Okay, documenting some more on this so I don't forget what I was doing when I come back to this later: this is due to the swipeview-wrapper div being set to a percentage of the page width, which on some screens ends up with a fraction of a pixel. Swipeview can't deal with those pixel fraction and either rounds or floors them, I haven't quite figured out which yet. Over time, the error builds up.

There's a way to get the width of a div with sub-pixel accuracy, and I've tried to reimplement a method in Swipeview using that instead of allowing rounding/flooring. It stretches the swipeview page infinitesimally to get rid of the 0.25-0.75 pixel error, and that fixes the bug 100% in Firefox and Safari. In Chrome, though, it causes bizzarre stretching and blurring of the fonts on the swipeview page. It's pretty fucking obnoxious.

Yeah I noticed this and never really investigated. I think it's worst in Firefox; in Webkit it seems to build up far slower. Is there a way to just periodically do some kind of hard reset? Alternately, we could just have the timer loop through once and then stop back on the first item.
