Comment:

 I would like to work on this. I need some suggestions on what can be done.
 These are the various options available. Please suggest any other options
 too.

 1. Should the text be limited ? If so, what is the criteria to clip it?
 2. Should the width of the menufield be increased? (I don't think thats a
 good idea, as it would effect the nice GUI of the application)
 3. Or else, we could re-arrange the buttons and menufield, so that, it
 fits into that "Preferred Application" area ?
