[wp-hackers] splitting dynamic_sidebar()

My worry is that the footer only has the width for three widgets, if somebody adds a fourth it will wrap but not always to the start of the second row.

For example if the widgets look like:

111111   222222   333333
111111   222222   333333
111111   222222   333333

The fourth widget will wrap like this:

111111   222222   333333
111111   222222   333333
111111   222222   333333

444444
444444
444444

But if the third widget is short, it'll wrap like this:

111111   222222   333333
111111   222222   444444
111111   222222   444444
                                  444444

What I want to do is insert a clear:right; after the third widget. Which will look like:

111111   222222   333333
111111   222222  
111111   222222  

444444
444444
444444

If I know what it is, I can do it using the specific widget name but when users can add anything, there isn't an ID or class for 'widget-3', so ... is there another method?
