Yes, I meant space. New device -> new icon. Ok I guess that's convenient fo 
rmost users, I can relate to that somehow. Guess wouldn't be that bad if it 
wouldn't shift around the other stuff. Right next to it sits KNewsTicker and 
that one gets pushed around from the left when the media applet adds new 
icons. Guess I need a wider monitor :)
(I already use an external window list and still kicker is crammed to the max 
at 1600x1200, small icons...)
