Bug Description
When a file with a very big name is created (example, a flv file from youtube downloaded by wget), and then trying to delete it, Nautilus shows a Dialog with the name of the file to be moved to trash and a Cancel | Ok bottom.
Now, the problem is that, with a very big file name, the dialog goes off screen. This makes that, for pressing the action bottoms in the dialog, you have to drag it several times until you reach the right end.
The behavior must be that, if the filename is too long and the dialog goes off screen, then the string should be cut to a reasonable length and put a (...) in the middle.
Example:
really_
It should be displayed in the Dialog as:
really_

Thanks for the report.
I can confirm this bug both for the "nautilus" project and as a "paper cut".
I also attach an image reproducing the issue.
