Bug#519451: /usr/bin/xmessage: fails when button do not fit on screen in a single line

[michal.suchanek@ruk.cuni.cz]

Package: x11-utils
Version: 7.3+2+nmu1
Severity: normal
File: /usr/bin/xmessage


Some scripts use xmessage as choice represented by the buttons.

When there are too many options to choose from the buttons fall off the
screen at the right.

xmessage should wrap buttons into multiple lines when they do not fit.

Thanks

Michal
