theme/gdm: shrink entry (912 bytes, patch)

Description Ray Strode [halfline] 2011-09-18 03:40:19 UTC 
In bug 658921 we changed the login window to have a fixed
entry length.  This prevented a nasty bug where really
long passwords would make the window incrementally grow
in the horizontal direction.

This makes sense but the number picked is too high. It forces
the login window to pop to a new width PAM asks a question.

theme/gdm: shrink entry

commit 8424236daafac98d560f4408318efd6e62872840
set the entry to a specific size to prevent it from
growing for long passwords.

The size is a little too long though, since it makes
the dialog pop out horizontally when showing the entry.

This commit drops it down a few em.

This is a completely non-controversial, one line theme change, pushing.
