wxFilePickerCtrl size problem/question [ wxGTK 2.8.0 ]

[ wxGTK v2.8.0 ]

Hi all,
When using the wxFilePickerCtrl, shouldn't the full name of the selected
file be shown (Up to some practical length), such as is shown in the
example:
http://developer.gnome.org/doc/API/2.0/gtk/GtkFileChooserButton.html

[ BTW - It would be really nice if wx included screenshots of the
various widgets in their docs like that! :) - Very nice touch! ]

Currently, when I run the 'widgets' sample (And in my own code), only
the first letter or two is shown, with some dots.  For example,
"Makefile" becomes "M..."

This is very frustating, and is almost useless, since you can't see
what the file name actually is.
[ NOTE - I'm aware of the 'proportional' sizing stuff on the
wxFilePickerCtrl, but that's not what I'm looking for.  I don't want
the button to resize when the window is resized - I just want the
button to be 'big enough' to show most/all of the file name. ]

Is there some way that I can make it resize itself to be big enough
(I didn't see anything hopeful in the API docs)?  Or is it a bug?

Thanks for any info!
Ian
