[Bug 534738] [NEW] cd install: truncated descriptions

[GophrenOli]

Public bug reported:

installing (x)ubuntu from CD, the installlation progress has three elements:
* the description header
* the progress bar
* the description details: 

The description details are truncated, if the text is too long (I used
the german version). To be honest, I absolutely hate the nervous
resizing windows in KDE, but that's better than "nothing".

In my small mind, whenever the text is too long, its displayed
immediatly. And if the following text is small enough for the "standard
window format" again, that description line is updated, and the rest
fades out (including the old window frame). A s a compomise between
showing what's possible in standard size, and what might be of interest.

Greetings!
