Albert, it's as much about browsers as screen res.  At 640 X 480, you are
"forcing" a horizontal scroll of some 40 pixels
plus...<opinion>YECH!!!!</opinion>

To answer the bigger question, each browser has different "off-sets", even
among different versions from the same company.  I used to have a chart that
gave the pixel offsets for each of the popular browsers (but I've lost
it...sorry), if memory serves it averaged out at about 8 pixels from the
top, 8 pixels from the left.  Once CSS is better implemented, that'll be the
way to go, but until then there is no way to eliminate that top white border
from your page.
