[Bug 942539] Re: Ubiquity desktop icon text looks messy

[Stéphane Graber]

I don't think there's much Ubiquity can do here, we simply ship a
.desktop file containing a Name= entry.

Now we don't have any control on how gtk/nautilus will wrap it and
trying to add spaces or other ugly trick will likely break flavours and
translations (where "Install" can be translated to "installieren" for
example causing a proper split of 12.04 on a second line).

Title:
  Ubiquity desktop icon text looks messy

Status in “ubiquity” package in Ubuntu:
  Triaged

Bug description:
  On a live CD/USB of Ubuntu the icon for Ubiquity looks like this:-

  "Install Ubuntu 12.
              04 LTS"

  (with the 04 LTS on the second line, and centred).

  It would look more pretty like this:-

  "Install Ubuntu
      12.04 LTS"

  Can we add a soft carriage return in there, or some other way to make
  it look less disjointed?
