#240 width when exec command with multi-line output
An exec item gives back two lines as output. The width of the conky area seems to be calculated as if these two lines were one line, so if line one has 20 and line two has 30 characters, the width will be something around 50 instead of 30. See attached screenshot for illustration. The version 1.7.1.1 did calculate the width as desired, taking the longest line for the width.
