Bug Description

The new icon size and highlighting has added some polish in the latest natty release of unity-2d. I did however discover an issue with the Password and Ecryption Keys icon title being overlapped by the icon below it. I have attached a screenshot to further clarify. Do not know if, any action, y'all want to take on this.

Thanks for the report.

There were changes to the grid spacings in commit 660, adding extra vertical and horizontal space so that 3 lines of text fit in under each icon. "Password and Encryption Keys" now fits in nicely.

Long application names which require more space will continue to overlap with the icons however. This behaviour needs to be decided upon.

Maybe we could add a transparent grey rounded rectangle behind the label that is overlapping the icon of the row below so that:
- the full label is readable
- it looks decent
