Title:
  Parameter guide of app_indicator_set_label does nothing

Status in Application Indicators:
  New
Status in indicator-application package in Ubuntu:
  Confirmed

Bug description:
  When dynamically setting a label with app_indicator_set_label(), the
  width of an indicator changes. As per the docs at
  http://developer.ubuntu.com/api/devel/ubuntu-12.04/c/AppIndicator3-0.1.html,
  the parameter guide can be specified to give a maximum size. Whatever
  string is given in guide however, the behaviour does not change and
  the whole bar of indicators does jiggle as before

  The docs say:

  gchar*"label-guide"read/write

  An optional string to provide guidance to the panel on how big the
  #AppIndicator:label string could get. If this is set correctly then
  the panel should never 'jiggle' as the string adjusts through out the
  range of options. For instance, if you were providing a percentage
  like "54% thrust" in #AppIndicator:label you'd want to set this string
  to "100% thrust" to ensure space when Scotty can get you enough power.
