Well...at first glance, g_object_set(renderer, "ellipsize",  
PANGO_ELLIPSIZE_END, NULL) should do exactly that--but when I  
tried it, the entries became longer (up to 32000 pixels!), and  
wouldn't even shrink as much (little) as before.  There must be  
more involved than just setting the property--perhaps someone  
would like to experiment with it (in create_from_entry(),  
src/sendmsg-window.c).

Not sure ;-(  There's always a scrolled window...
