[Matthew Paul Thomas <mpt@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Matthew's branch is an improvement, but not a complete fix for this bug.

** Description changed:

  software-center 4.1.14, Ubuntu 11.10 beta
+ 
+ 1. sudo apt-get install 4g8 && sudo dpkg --force-depends -r libnet1
+ 2. Launch Ubuntu Software Center.
+ 
+ (When finished testing, reset if necessary with "sudo apt-get remove 4g8
+ libnet1".)
  
  I've attached a screenshot.  Looks like a side effect of the new gtk3
  height-for-width logic.  I'd suggest maybe using a GtkGrid, which
  generally handles layouts better.
  
  It may save time to fix bug 844014 at the same time as this bug.
