[plt-scheme] DrScheme Window Width

The problem under Windows was windows-specific. Windows returns a zero
height for the empty string. That may be a windows bug, but it caused
the language name to always be zero height.

(There is another bug that you'll see if you don't update that's more
minor but annoying -- the yellow background doesn't restrict itself to
just the words, but flys off to the right when the window is wider).
