Youtube browser missing horizontal scroll

[GoogleCodeExporter]

What steps will reproduce the problem?
1. Open youtube browser
2. Search for something
3. See how the longer titles vanishes into the right frame of the window

See attached screenshot.
There should be a horizontal scrollbar, or it should be possible to resize
the window.

I think the proper solution here would be to make the text wrap, not put a(n 
ugly)
horizontal scrollbar. Sadly, wxPython's HyperlinkCtrl class doesn't seem to have
wrapping support like regular text does... Annoying. Maybe it should truncate 
the
text instead and add "..." at the end of the title?

(By the way, it seems from your screenshot that you're missing the YouTube 
plugin...)

There was some configuration issue, when I deleted the ~/.damnvid folder it was 
back
again.
If it's impossible to make the text wrap, I think scrolling and the possibility 
to
resize is better. Unless you can make the rest of the title appear as a 
tool-tip when
you hover your mouse over it? That would probably be the prettier solution.

Awesome, fix committed in r268.

The window could be resizable but the result would be very ugly. wx doesn't 
allow
text to wrap dynamically, it only has a sometext.Wrap(numberOfPixels) method. So
there would have to be an event listener to the resizing event of the window 
that
re-wraps all the text in the window manually, which would be slow and jittery.
