Comment 6 for bug 600285

Regarding the question on the width of the widget.
If one wants a description in a word, the width should be 90 at minimum. This is already a bit wider than before. So I propose the following alternative where the label is shortened to one letter followed by a colon (does not look nice without the colon).

Even better could be no label at all (and let the tooltip speak for itself) and using the default widget width (STATUS_ZOOM_WIDTH).
