Good point.  We talked about a change to the buttonizer that would allow sizes
to be declared as variable, as in width="75*" which would create a button a
minimum of 75 pixels wide, but which could expand to accomodate longer text. 
Similarly width="*" would make a button just wide enough for the text.  I have
not implemented this yet, but it seems like a reasonable change.  Alternately,
we could enable expansion by default and provide a mechanism to set a fixed
width regardless of text length .

Alternately, we could put the sizes of the various buttons into the language dbf
files and then get the values based on language.  This would have the advantage
of allowing the designers to set up pre-determined sizes for each language and
ensure that they can be accomodated in the design.

One thing that worries me with variable size buttons is breaking the careful
HTML design of many of our layouts.  Not sure if this would happen or not, it is
just a point of concern.
