Comment(by marco):

 There are two possible short time solutions here:

  * Reimplement the icon view using hippo.
  * Add a scrollbar to the view, which will be visible for languages that
 overflow.

 The hippo solution would be good enough until post 9.1 (at least).

 Replying to [comment:8 gregorio]:

 Hippo is only slightly more risky I think (the code changes would be
 larger but easy to test).

 > Which is the easiest to implement and test?

 Scrollbar should be easier to implement (I can't say for sure until we
 tried it though). Test effort should be equivalent.
