Comment(by rwh):

 Marco, it seems we can indeed use gtk.Label.set_ellipsize(). It will
 probably figure out the width of the palette in a intelligent way.
 However, the options that you can provide are:

 {{{
 pango.ELLIPSIZE_NONE    No ellipsization.
 pango.ELLIPSIZE_START   Omit characters at the start of the text.
 pango.ELLIPSIZE_MIDDLE  Omit characters in the middle of the text.
 pango.ELLIPSIZE_END     Omit characters at the end of the text.
 }}}

 Slightly different from what Eben suggested. So we have to either set some
 limits on the lengths we allow (with the code I wrote), or we move to one
 of these mechanisms for the ellipsis.
