Gnome2::Canvas::Text question

[James Muir <hemlock vtlink net>]

Hello everybody,

The pango documentation indicates that there is a way to have it 
automatically "ellipsize" text. That is, having an ellipsis (...) placed 
at the end of a visible portion of a text string if the string won't 
entirely fit in the layout. "Cool", I thought,  "now I can rip out the 
ellipsis code from my app and use Pango!".
The problem is that I can't figure out how to use this ellipsis feature 
with a Gnome2::Canvas::Text item. Is it possible to make a 
Gnome2::Canvas::Text item use the pango ellipsis feature? Any examples 
on how to do this?
