Tab name screenshot

Version:           2.4.5 (using KDE 4.4.5) 
OS:                Linux

Konsole truncates tab names in the list of tabs at the bottom of the window.
Since KDE 4.0 the tab name has variable width, but the displayed text is still
truncated to a fixed size.

Please take a look at screenshot to understand what I'm talking about. I named
a tab to the message: 'This should be displayed', but it was truncated to '...
should be displayed' with lots of blanks on both sides.

The bug is very annoying if I dynamically change tab title from shell. If I set
tab title manually I can use shorter name, but if the running command name is
displayed as a tab title and truncated to just a 20 characters is it very
frustrating.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Open konsole with one tab.
2. Resize it to full screen.
3. Set tab title to 'This should be displayed'

Actual Results:  
'... should be displayed' is displayed as tab title

Expected Results:  
Full message should be displayed if it is enough space to fit it.
