[pygtk] ellipsized label in alignments

[Erik Grinaker]

Hi,

I'm having some problems using ellipsized labels inside an alignment.
Take the attached example, what I want is to have a table which is
centered in the window. I also want the value in the right column to be
ellipsized if it is too long (ie, if it is bigger than the window).

As you can see, the whole label is ellipsized even though it has plenty
of room to expand. The solution to this is, of course, to set xscale to
1 for the gtk.Alignment and add the gtk.EXPAND flag to
gtk.Table.attach(). However, this causes the table to appear
left-justified, and no longer centered.

So is there a way to make the ellipsized label request the exact space
it requires but no more, while still being ellipsized when bigger than
the window?
