Hi.

void                gtk_label_set_ellipsize             (GtkLabel *label,
                                                         
PangoEllipsizeMode mode);

Sets the mode used to ellipsize (add an ellipsis: "...") to the text if 
there is not enough space to render the entire string.

Regards.
