CAT Users,

        It looks like a bug in zenity is causing the TOS acknowledgment
screen to play the buttons off of some of our screens.  We trimmed it
down, but it is putting a lot of spaces in the mix.

https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/zenity/+bug/1206760

        I modified the script to use the fmt utility to do the line wrapping,
and then call zenity with the --no-wrap flag.  This fixed the issue
for us.

        I'm attaching the patch here in case it is affecting other folks as
well.  I think the same thing could be applied at other places within
the script that seem to suffer from the same zenity issue.

Thanks,
ep
