Firefox showing wikipedia article with the longest title

As you can see in the attachment, long titles (especially with web browsers) make the app popups in overview bigger than screen.

Steps to reproduce:
1. Open Firefox
2. Open a site with a long title. As in the attachment. [1]
3. Right click on Firefox icon in overview.

Details:
gnome-shell-3.14.0-2.fc21.x86_64

app-well: Set menu width

Currently the app well menu has unrestricted with which can cause it to grow
with long window titles and can even go offscreen that way.

So set a size, long titles will now be properly elipised.

I think max-width and a bigger value is better. Note that the base popup-menu class already has min-width: 200px.
