Comment(by benzea):

 Attached a patch.

 Instead of having the text_maxlen parameter, we could just have a maxwidth
 parameter, which could just be 0.5 if the maximum width should be half the
 screen size. It should be quite simple to change the patch in that way.

 Another improvement would be to change menuitem.py to do the same
 text_maxwidth hack with a large max_width_chars value, and ellipsizing
 enabled by default.
