[Bug 573643] [NEW] Lucid: launcher icons in panel shrink on making the panel higher

[Janet]

Public bug reported:

Binary package hint: kdebase-workspace

In Karmic/KDE 4.3 it was possible to have a panel with menu/launcher
icons in size 48x48 and a two row systemtray. When I made the panel
higher the launcher icons nonetheless kept their size of 48x48 (instead
of increasing their size further).

But now in Lucid/KDE 4.4.2 the launcher icons in the panel even behave
worse and *shrink* when I make the panel higher. The icons don't reach
full 48x48 size anymore as it seems and at the point where you make the
panel that high that the systemtray gets two rows the launcher icons
jump from roundabout size 44x44 to roundabout size 32x32.

With Lucid/KDE 4.4.2 it is not possible anymore to have a two row
systemtray and at the same time big enough launcher icons in the panel.

Especially for not eagle eyed people using high display resolutions
that's unpleasant. Besides it  is illogical to shrink the icons when the
panel gets higher. And when you get the maximum height of the launcher
icons the systemtray wastes horizontal space  because lining its icons
up in one row. And it looks ugly when you have a one row systemtray with
a lot of unused space above an below the icons. As it looks ugly (with a
two row system tray) to have small launcher icons with a lot of unused
space above and below the icons.
