GTK has a function for truncating labels:

  gtk_label_set_ellipsize()

Which takes a PangoEllipsizeMode 
(http://developer.gnome.org/pango/stable/pango-Layout-Objects.html#PangoEllipsizeMode) 
setting.  In the past, I used this (or a similar?) function for the 
capture dialog's IP address list, ultimately choosing to put it in the 
middle so the user could see the first and last IP addresses if there 
were many.
