Comment(by eben):

 I'm not sure this solves the problem. The root of the issue is that we
 have no way, presently, to trim the text label to a specific width. We
 should allow setting the min/max width/height of a palette, and adjust the
 strings within accordingly. The current hack allows one to trim the string
 to a specific number of characters, which is not what's really needed.

 As a note, I think we should be using ELLIPSIZE_MIDDLE, so that we don't
 truncate the tail of the string where useful identifiers (such as the
 number of date of the document) often live.
