I'll have a look at the changes you made.

wordwrap_string change spaces in the array into newlines,
so it doesn't solve the problem completely.
The pango_layout_set_text() used in gui-gtk-2.0/graphics.c
can take chars with /n and display them properly.
gdk_draw_string() in gtk-1 can't, so each line has
to be drawn separately.
