Yes, you're right. I didn't notice because it's mostly visible on
large windows. Most Xfce dialogs follow these HIG, with some
exceptions here and there. I've even done that myself without being
aware in the weather plugin settings. Never mind.

I've attached another patch that fixes cut off text in the critical
energy widget. Maybe it depends on the theme or a custom font size, I
can't say. You consider it worth applying or not. I hope the width_char
value is correct.

Finally, there's something wrong on the system tab; the lid action on
battery is not shown. I can change it (choose another option), though,
and the changes are even reflected in the xfce settings editor.
Haven't got that far to fix it.

Harald
