Fair point. I think I'd favor allowing the icon view window to be
wider, and not truncating the strings for the icons, rather than
splitting the strings over more than one line. Does that sound OK?
Ah, I tried that and it's not good: if I allow full-length strings
for all languages the icon view becomes too wide and sparse, and
looks stupid. This is actually quite complicated; more thought
needed.
