Window list uses space inefficiently

Description
I was thinking about the lack of space in my panels today when I realized that the window list is spending more space on displaying ellipses than it is spending to show the truncated window titles. I have one window whose title is shown as "TO...", and another as "[bu...". If there were some way to indicate truncation without displaying three ellipses, this could save space.
I'm also noticing that the padding around the window icons and title text is absolutely excessive. The padding around favicons in firefox tabs is an example of a saner amount of padding. I'd say almost half of the available space is consumed by padding as I type this, so any reduction in that would go a long way toward giving my window list items room to breath in.
