Comment(by renatosilva):

 Old bug but I've been experiencing some ellipsizing issues and I just
 noticed a suspecting line in gtkconv.c:
 {{{
 gtk_label_set_width_chars(GTK_LABEL(gtkconv->tab_label), 4)
 }}}
 I believe it's actually setting the width to be that of ''no character not
 four''. Right bellow it sets the width for the same label but now with the
 minimum from length of contained text and a fixed max width of 12. I've
 added this mysterious 4 to this width and it seems to be working just
 fine:
 {{{
 - MIN(g_utf8_strlen(gtk_label_get_text(GTK_LABEL(gtkconv->tab_label)),
 -1), 12)
 + MIN(g_utf8_strlen(gtk_label_get_text(GTK_LABEL(gtkconv->tab_label)),
 -1), 30) + 4
 }}}
