After: wide and uncentered

The button's label changes according to the status of the authorization. Then,
since the unlocked text is longer than the original one, the button gets wider.
This forces dialogs to resize and they get ugly and uncentered on the screen.
See attached screenshots of the gnome-system-tools for a spectacular
illustration of this problem (combined with GtkButtonBox issues).

It should be possible to set the button's original size to the maximum size it
will require. Ideas?

policykit-gnome is not under active development anymore.
Its codebase has been archived:
https://gitlab.gnome.org/Archive/policykit-gnome/commits/master

Closing this report as WONTFIX as part of Bugzilla Housekeeping to reflect
reality. Please feel free to reopen this ticket (or rather reactivate the project
to GNOME Gitlab, as GNOME Bugzilla is deprecated) if anyone takes the
responsibility for active development again.
