Eliipsize long title/artist in indicator menu

[Luca Ferretti]

Binary package hint: rhythmbox

While it's a corner case, could be good ellipsize long title/artist labels in Rhythmbox indicator menu.

If you don't, you could have some ugly appearance like in the attached screenshot

Thank you for taking the time to report this bug and helping to make Ubuntu better. A new version of Rhythmbox is available on Maverick and we are wondering if this bug is still an issue for you with that version? Could you please test and comment back? Thanks in advance.

Hi Pedro, it's true that a new Rhythmbox version is available in Ubuntu 10.10, but:
  * RB indicator in 10.10 in totally different from the one in 10.04
  * 10.04 is a LTS release
So, IMHO, if we want to remove this odd behavior for LTS users, we should fix RB indicator in 10.04, even if the issue no longer exists in 10.10.

However, I've just checked in 10.04.1+updates (with a shorter title, to be honest, only 25 characters) and no ellipsize is applied :(
