Comment 6 for bug 1463944

I'd like to echo Iain's comments here; I'm happy to sponsor a patch to limit the width of dialogs, but I would prefer if it used max-width-chars (or an equivalent for the KDE component).

Hugh, would you have time to update your patch to at least use the property for the gtk dialog? I'm happy to do the research for the Qt variant of it and patch that component myself (or I can let you do it if you're interested).

I'm assigning this bug to you for now, but we'll look again soon; it would be great to fix this for the 15.10 release.
