If you shorten the layer names here, where would you even want the full names? I think if the user has given layers long names, it is for a good reason. This is about the only place the layer names are even used, except for the exported Gerbers. If the user wants short layer names, he can just name his layers with short names. I do think it could be useful to allow the font size for the layer names to be configurable in the preferences, and allow the user to adjust the width of the left side panel.
