While this change may make sense on its own...

... this is a very weak justification for this patch. It's just papering
over a Boxes-specific issue. The shortened name may avoid the ellipsization
seen in this screenshot, but only with the specific font/font
metrics/translation/... you are using. Iirc this also makes it harder
to make the difference between different RHEL versions in the ISO chooser
widget.
