Comment(by eben):

 The palette size shouldn't be limited by the palette class. This should be
 settable by the creator of the palette. For instance, palettes in the
 Journal, or in the home/groups/neighborhood views, should be a maximum of
 1/2 the width of the screen, so that one edge of them can always align
 with the mouse cursor. On the other hand, palettes attached to toolbar
 buttons could be up to the full width of the screen. (This handles your
 color-picker case.)

 Also, why shouldn't we just set max_width_chars to be a large value, with
 ellipsizing, in the palette class? The creator of the palette should
 indicate a maximum size for the palette, and the palette itself should
 ensure that the primary and secondary labels are treated accordingly,
 ellipsizing if needed.
