length*8 combined with the removal of regenerate_title is a bad choice. To
demonstrate:

1. Set the length to 10 characters.
2. Select the whole of the initial description of this BTS entry.
3. Look at the clipman menu. Ellipsization is fine.
4. Set the length to 120 characters.
5. Look at the clipman menu. Whoops, no ellipsization.

The more non-ASCII glyphs are present, the sooner this will become obvious.
From what I've seen of Chinese (simplified) text, each glyph requires three
bytes (if encoded using UTF-8), so 10 characters -> 80 bytes -> 26 glyphs and
one truncated character. That's important, because g_locale_to_utf8() will
return NULL due to the invalid character, and there's no check for that ->
segfault.
