This may be a problem related to your desktop fonts. Here with
fr_FR and en_UK or C I have no problem.
If you use a bigger font in your gtk+ theme, that might make the
text wide enough to over-run the splash box.
This is the case, my font size is 12  8-)

What's your expected behaviour here. That the text be chopped at
the edges of the splash, or that the window be big enough for the
biggest string from the start?
*My* expected behaviour is ... nothing. I just *think* it would have a  
better "sex appeal" for the end user who is comming from an other  
software and who thinks the look is important.

Any of your suggestions is acceptable:
- text cropped : motly nobody read it as it is moving very quickly
- larger window can be *the* solution but you will have to fix/compute  
and acceptable width.

Your font size got to be HUGE. I would suggest you start gimp using
the --no-splash command-line option to workaround this problem.

PS: I am planning to do some changes to the splash window today or
tomorrow. Should be trivial to work around this problem by cutting
the text off if it's too wide.
