Hmm. This seems to be a GTK problem as opposed to a Sugar problem. I'll need to probe what version of GTK is installed and take appropriate action.

The problem is gtk. I now check for gtk version and if it is 2.16 or less, I do not set the label width, reverting back to the occasional truncated help strings (which presumably is better than no help strings.) With latter gtk versions, the label works as designed.

It would be nice if you could document your workaround on the  Compatibility Tips wiki page.
