Bug Description

Binary package hint: glipper

In Unbuntu 8.04 with Glipper 1.0 installed, when i click the Glipper icon to see a overview of my clipboard,
it displays longer strings cut down with a "..." inserted in the middle.

However the text cutting functions used dont seem to understand unicode text, so sometimes
illegal unicode (utf8 in my case) text is attempted to be displayed in the dropdown,resulting in wierd symbols etc.

I cant take a screenshot of the bug since glipper seems to steal focus of print screen key too
(will open a separate bug report on that)
