Summary 0002566: Fit and finish issues
Description There are multiple "fit and finish" issues with ardour when translated into other languages, meaning that the end result looks less polished than it could be.

In particular several drop down menus are cut off (some of these are problems in English, too), the speed bar changes in width, and two tooltips are desperately needed.

This bug will contain some patches resolving these issues, shortly.

The first patch (vectorized_setsize_function.patch) creates a new function in libgtkmmext that has the same syntax as an existing function but takes a vector of internationalized strings as an argument.

Sorry, this triggers a recompile.

The second patch fixes the 4 most glaring problems with the drop down menus on the primary editor screen.

There are several other places where an arbitrary string is used within ardour to determine the width of the drop down or button, but these stood out.

See http://www.teklibre.com/~d/ardour/ardour2_latest_es.png [^]

These patches also improve the appearance of the english version as well.

I have versions of these patches for 3.0, along with adding two new tooltips, and a (currently failing) attempt at making the speedbar stop forcing a resize.
