This is not part of the user interface. The r200 driver defines this
string. Someone would have to fix it there.

The truncation of long tab labels and tooltip with the full description
was added in version 0.2.4. This seemed to be the best way to handle
such long labels. Once you know the text you only need the short version
and you know what's meant anyway. (First I tried line-wrapping long
labels, but I didn't find a way to limit the width of the labels
(gtk_widget_set_size_request) without making all shorter labels the same
width.)

The section descriptions in the driver don't have a notion of a short
and a long description. If a long section description is given by the
driver, the user interface needs to cope with that in some way. The
truncation + tooltip thing was the only solution I could come up with
till now. If anyone knows a better way to do this with GTK (e.g.
limiting the width of line-wrapped labels without making it the minimum
width at the same time), I'm all ears.
