Bug Description

"Ubuntu Start" menu does not fit a 10 inches screen, common in numerous netbooks, please see the screen-shot attached and pay special attention in the "Listen to music" entry, you will see that the string is out of the screen.
In addiction, the elements are not well centered, there is much free space on the left of the screen, and not enough space on the right, where icon names are out of the screen.

On my Dell Mini 10v (1024x600) I don't even see the lenses at all, otherwise it looks fairly similar.
