I know that there was some excitement about exposed password process monitoring 
when I sent my previous mail but I was curious if anyone had a chance to take a 
look at it.

Updating on this.  I did some extra digging and it looks like the menu should 
be set to hold a max of 32 chars as that's the input limit.  I re-adjusted my 
patch and now it takes the font width * 32 and uses that as the width 
measurement.  With this I removed the custom size option and just allowed the 
caller to have it on or off by simply using a -w flag.  I've checked with both 
fixed and variable width fonts and it looks to operate correctly although it 
does give extra space with variable width fonts as I believe the reported width 
is for the widest character in the font. 

diff attached.
