(Copied over from dup). Quite often if the surrounding whitespace is taken account of, then there is no require to ellipse the name; a long name surrounded on the left-and-right by short names still has plenty of space if it is not constrained to the same grid as the icons are aligned to.

(Longer worked examples of the equivalent issue occuring in the Launchpad milestones graph are on bug #668435.)
