[Bug 939343] [NEW] "Applying Changes" window keeps resizing

[David Clayton]

Public bug reported:

When updated packages are being installed the "Applying Changes" window
expands and then contracts when it encounters a package name that
exceeds the anticipated width that the default window is set for.

This is annoying and looks amateurish, either make the window big enough
to handle the maximum package name length (if there is such a thing) or
have it remain at the larger width.
