 {{{
 It would be nice if the width of the guifications could
 be either adaptive (if that's possible) or specified.
 As I understand it, this is supposed to happen, but it
 ain't.

 By default, the mini theme has the text items set to a
 width of ~60, so they truncate to the width of the
 guification. I first tried changing all the widths to
 110; the effect of this is shown in the upper part of
 the attached image. The text just goes straight off the
 side.

 As per grim's suggestion, I set all the text items to a
 width of zero, which means that the text adapts to the
 guification, instead of the guifications adapting to
 the text.

 The default width seems a tad too small for me, and I
 feel it would be nice to be able to widen the boxes a
 bit. I'd prolly suggest this item be added into the
 defaults panel I'd like to see, along with default
 icon, default background image setting usw.
