Variable values are cut-off (starplot, starplot map) when variable names/numbers are long #54

What steps will reproduce the problem?
1. Using the webstart toolkit, load up the U.S. State data
2. In the variable picker window, pick the bottom 6 and send them
(NO_FARMS87 to FIPS - another side-issue might be that there are two
variables with the same name: NO_FARMS87)
3. The values in both the StarPlot and StarPlot Map are cut off for most of
these selections due to the space limitations for displaying text/numbers
(show values like 6535... or 76...)

What is the expected output? What do you see instead?
As above, I expected to be able to see the values of the variables, but
when either the value or the variable name is too long, there isn't enough
space in the two StarPlot window(s) to display the number.  Maybe a
mouse-over to get the value?  Or maybe an easier solution would be to
provide more area when you resize the window (increase the light gray bars
on either side of the bottom StarPlot so that they're maybe 50%-100% wider
when you maximize the window.)  Currently, when you resize, the bars on
each side of the bottom star plot circle stay the same width (with variable
values still obscured) while the middle star plot area stretches.
