Bug Description

Binary package hint: nautilus

Devices with long names show up on the desktop with the text wrapped inconsistently

Steps to reproduce:
1. Plug in a device that has a long name
2. See it show up on the desktop

What should happen:
The text should be aligned nicely in the same way that is done for files and folders

What happens instead:
The text is wrapped in a very inconsistent way.

I've attached a screenshot of an example of this. I even created a new folder with the same exact name as seen in the screenshot and the text was wrapped in a very consistent and neat manner.
