Ubiquity "Choose a picture" screen too narrow

[Chad A Davis]

The new (in Oneiric) "Choose a picture" screen from the installer shows a live preview from the webcam as well as some pre-defined icons lined up on a grid.

Expected: Either two columns of icons with less white space around them, or three columns of icons.
Actual: Appears that the three columns of icons didn't quite fit. Instead I see two columns with a huge amount of white space.

Screen shot attached.

There simply is not enough space for this, even with removing the padding between the camera preview and the scrolled window of icons.

The bug isn't that it needs to have three columns, the bug is that it
looks like it's trying to have three columns. I.e. the excessive white
space makes it look like something in the layout is broken. Just
increasing the padding between the columns would probably be
sufficient.

oneiric has seen the end of its life and is no longer receiving any updates. Marking the oneiric task for this ticket as "Won't Fix".
