Cool! I bumped the number to 21 to accommodate for beta and rc as
intrigeri pointed out.

Actually, the file choose doesn't get wider on its own but when a file
whose name is too long is selected, the file chooser gets wider. This
solves intrigeri's concern regarding ISO images from
nightly.tails.boum.org. Hurray!

Now yes!

I also fixed the alignment issue on the right with 461de42.

Yeah! I'm so happy this is ready for the final code review.

I'll assign this to intrigeri who's be active on this thread but I'm not
sure who exactly should do that. Probably the foundation team and then
probably hand stuff out to the Debian package maintainer.
