Comment(by mrooney):

 Adding some information from the downstream bug
 (https://bugs.launchpad.net/pidgin/+bug/213042) to note other problematic
 locations other then the Preferences dialog. I think pidgin needs to
 handle this in one place so all places that use the title can get a sane
 length.

 To reproduce:
  1) Run pidgin. Accounts are not necessary.
  2) Right-click on the tray icon, mouse over "Change Status" and select
 "New"
  3) Enter a very long title and message (in this case no spaces, that may
 or may not matter), and click "Save & Use"

 Now notice that:
  1) Right-clicking on the tray icon and select "Preferences" produces a
 dialog that is too wide.
  2) Hovering over "Change Status" from the right-click menu produces a
 dialog that is too wide.
  3) Mousing over the tray icon provides a tool tip which is too wide.

 What should happen: Pidgin should crop the above locations to a set number
 of chars, with ellipses on the end!
