crustie: Currently there is a "soft" limitation on the word length. The title can be as long as you want, but the widget will only display the first x characters (where x is the number of characters that will fit on one line).

I plan to either ellipsize text that is too long, have it scroll (not sure if this is possible yet), or have it break lines. The first two options would work better with the way desktop widgets work in fremantle, having a fixed size for each element seems to be the way to work.
