 When right clicking on a journal item, if the name happens to be n
 characters long (These n being beyond screen size) the menu extends beyond
 the screen, and no menu items are displayed.

 I have a temporary fix:

         if metadata.has_key('title'):
         #Hack limits to specified number of characters, and saves screen
 from going all the way!

             screen=gtk.gdk.Screen()
             width = screen.get_width()
             if width >= 800 and width <= 1200:
                char_length = 15

             elif width > 1200 and width <= 1650:
                char_length = 20

             else:
                 char_lenghth = 25

             if len(metadata['title'])>char_length:
                title = metadata['title'][0:char_length]+"..."
             else:
                title = metadata['title']

 any suggestions for a good permanent fix?
