Dear all

I would like to be able to change - in fact, increase - the length of the text labels that appear on launchers when those launchers have multiple instances. To explain: When I'm got several documents open in LibreOffice Writer, each document appears in a pop-up when I hover over the Writer icon in my dock. So far, so good. However (and by design) the documents all start with the same text - it is only when we get to about the 30th character that one can see the difference between the files. Yet, Cairo only display the first 20 or so characters. So I can't see which document is which and so cannot tell which to click. See what I mean? To further explain, the documents in question are called:

Killing and Letting Die, handout 1 - Introduction
Killing and Letting Die, handout 2.odt

etc.

Amongst the bewildering array of Cairo-dock options, I can't find one that suits this purpose. Help!

PS: I am using the Weekly version of Cairo-dock, but I had this problem on the Stable version too.
