Bug Description
When you type in an incorrect password with a Serbian locale set for the system, the error message saying "Incorrect password, please try again" (in Serbian, of course) is too long to fit properly in the log-in dialog. See the attachment (shot with a phone camera, sorry about that).
I am certain this will affect other languages as well because the dialog is fixed size, and that never works with localisation.
Originally seen with lightdm in Ubuntu 11.10 beta (0.9.7-0ubuntu1): perhaps I should have filed it as an Ubuntu bug?

I‘ve also seen this problem with the Spanish translation. I managed to make it a bit shorter, but that’s not ideal. Maybe the message should scroll, like the options in a phone menu do.
