If you are actually using your dialog title for the title and it won't
fit, then I suggest you file a bug report
(http://code.google.com/p/android/issues/ ) since for me this is a bug
(eg dialog titles can be only 2 lines.. really - that's a problem in
some languages where common words are way longer than in english). If
enough people have this issue that they can't use the dialog title for
titles anymore, then this might be changed in a future release.

If you are using it for showing general messages, then don't use the
title for this, use setMessage(message) (in AlertDialog.Builder or
AlertDialog).
