Luc-Ace: Thanks for reporting this. Observation - you seem to be using some old version of notify-osd - the recent one would not truncate the title like that (vide MacSlow's comment).

In general, the width is indeed too small. The initial tests were conducted on the netbook screen (1024x600), and the plan was to first see how small we can make it in this extreme environment, and enlarge if necessary, rather than the other way round.

The problem also originates from the default desktop font itself - Vera Sans does not utilize space very well (esp. horizontally). Since we can't change the default font now, enlarging the width of the bubble seems like the most reasonable option.
