"px" are a measure of angular size, not linear size, in CSS.

But that wasn't my question.  My question is what information you're 
actually trying to get, not what CSS does or doesn't allow you to do 
right now.  Once I understand what problem you're trying to solve, I'll 
be in a better position to say something meaningful...

Which behavior?  Are you talking "fix" as in "make not broken" or "fix" 
as in "make unchanging"?  My mail used it in the latter sense, which may 
be confusing in this context...
