"Expected: Long icon labels to wrap, even if they do not contain a hyphen

Actual: Icons labels with a hyphen wrap at the hyphen, other long icon labels are truncated.

Screenshot attached. Icon labels containing a hyphen are wrapped at the hyphen, e.g. "System-Information" but labels without a hyphen are truncated, e.g. "Sofortnachrichten and VoIP-Konten" is displayed as "Sofortnac and VoIP-Konten" where the second hyphen is used to wrap "VoIP" and "Konten" onto separate lines, but "Sofortnachrichten" doesn't fit on one line and is truncated"

Comment 1 Matthias Clasen 2011-09-02 04:45:03 UTC 
possible line breaks are determined by pango.
it doesn't do hyphenation
Comment 2 Behdad Esfahbod 2011-09-02 14:57:23 UTC 
Maybe doing PANGO_WRAP_WORD_CHAR at least is an improvement in the mean time.
