[Pkg-xfce-devel] Bug#434823: xfce4-panel: Text formatting not well adapted to vertical panel

Package: xfce4-panel
Version: 4.4.1-1
Severity: minor


When I put the panel on the side, all the names
get cut off, because the panel is then only 40 pixels wide.
For instance, it says "Xfce Men"  instead of "Xfce Menu".

The worst offender is the task list.  It displays
like this:

[




[ICON] Gno..."  




]
It leaves huge amounts of blank space above and below
the little truncated line that is telling me that I
have a Gnome Terminal running.   It would be best if
that blank space could be used by folding the text
onto several lines.     Even better, the icon should
be put on a line of its own.    It should look like
this:

[




[ICON]
Gnome
Termin-
al



]
