That's easy to fix by specifying the alignment; patch to follow.  It's
also independent of this change to the panel; currently the minibuffer
label and input areas are not aligned.

I'm puzzled as to how to achieve this; I don't think it can be done
directly with flex.  As far as I can tell the content of the textbox has
no influence on its size (unlike, say, a label); a default size is
chosen (or set) and the flex modifies that.

I thought of programmatically setting the size of the minibuffer-input
as its content increases, but there doesn't seem to be any way to get
the width of the content.  Examples of javascript I found on the net to
calculate the width of a string do filthy things like rendering to an
invisible, off screen div and getting the width of that.
