Bug Description

Binary package hint: gnome-system-tools

The services-admin window is very narrow by default, so there's no room for the text inside. I propose to increment the window default width.

Same problem on Hardy & Intrepid.

It could be great if:

1. The window were wider.
2. The service name font size were smaller.

I've just committed upstream a change in the layout that makes description take much less horizontal space. The current width of the dialog should be enough for all description in all languages.

This will be in 2.29.90, so eventually in Lucid.
