The attached screenshot demonstrates that the navigator does not ellipsize the text of its listview items, so if you have a long header there you end up with an annoying horizontal scrollbar.

I would recommend automatically ellipsizing (shortening with "...") using pango instead, and showing a tooltip with the full-length string when the mouse hovers the item.

In order to limit the confusion between ProposedEasyHack and EasyHack and to make queries much easier we are changing ProposedEasyHack to NeedsDevEval.

Thank you and apologies for the noise
