Comment 2 Elijah Newren 2004-10-19 18:20:58 UTC 
Why use the eel ellipsization when pango now has support (bug 59071)?
Comment 3 Benjamin Kahn 2004-10-19 18:29:18 UTC 
Sweet!  I'm glad to see that.  I didn't see this before because I'm working
against an older version of Pango.  I'll have to update the patch to use Pango's
built in routines though.  Thanks for pointing that out.

See also bug 99604.
Comment 6 Elijah Newren 2004-10-29 19:23:04 UTC 
See also bug 156439; it looks like someone is doing gtk ellipsization although
in wnck-applet instead of libwnck.
Comment 7 Vincent Untz 2004-10-30 08:06:15 UTC 
Elijah: in bug 156439, we don't use widgets from libwnck, so we need to do
ellipsization in wnck-applet.

Make GNOME 2.10 ellipsize task items

This patch doesn't quite obsolete the last patch since this patch applies to a
different version of GNOME. (Latest development.)

All good
Comment 10 Benjamin Kahn 2004-12-06 19:15:10 UTC 
Checked in (with Changelog) into HEAD.
Comment 11 Dennis Cranston 2004-12-08 21:10:18 UTC 
Using libwnck with this patch applied, changes the behaivor of the window list's
minimum size preference.  Now, all task buttons are drawn at the minimum size
even if there is space available.
