Bug Description

The button at the bottom of the background panel, custom section, have rather long labels (in some locales at least) which leads them to be ellipsized
"[Add an image...] [Remove images...]"

E.g in french they display, on the krillin device, as
"[ Ajouter une ima...] [Supprimer les im...]"

<https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Appearance#Without_external_display>: "Tapping the “New” button should open a picker for selecting a new image ... Long-pressing a “Recent” item should reveal a context menu with a single item, “Delete”."

Wondering if a general approach to this would make sense applied to the sdk, like reduce font size or wrap text based on length of message

Matthew, do you have a design recommendation on what should be done there?

Specification updated. <https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Appearance?action=diff&rev2=28&rev1=26> The "Add an image..." button should be replaced by a "+" button, and the "Remove images..." button should no longer exist.
