Really? I did not realize that it would be so involved because other GTK apps have this feature. I just checked Evolution and I see that it has the same behaviour as Basket: shortened names have an ellipsis added at the end. Could the Evolution component possibly be used in Zim? I really don't know enough about GTK development to know how involved it would be, but judging by the fact that most applications that I am familiar with display this behaviour I assumed that it is built into GTK.
