seahorse-preferences should ellipsize long key names

[Richard Laager]

Binary package hint: seahorse

The window for the seahorse-preferences application (System -> Encryption and Keyrings) is huge for me. This is because the Encryption tab has a Default key drop-down that lists all my secret keys. Two of them have a really long name (from an X.509 certificate & key pair that I imported for experimentation one time). Rather than make the dialog huge, the key name should be ellipsized.
