Yeah, that's not appropriate for the system tray. While the system tray does not have a *fixed* size, it does have a *natural* size based on the number of icons currently in it. It also doesn't *use* any of that extra space; the tray icons are not resized or rearranged when it grows; they remain tightly packed against the left/top. If it would usefully use the extra space, expanding would make sense, but it doesn't. The current behavior is a regression from KDE 3. In KDE 3, I could have a panel that resized as needed to be exactly the size required by a few quick- launch icons and any system tray icons I might have. It would grow if either I manually added a new quick launch icon or if a program created a system tray icon; It would shrink if system try icons were closed or if I manually removed a quick launch icon In KDE 4, the panel doesn't shrink or grow properly if it contains only Icon widgets and the System Tray widget. -- Boyd Stephen Smith Jr. ,= ,-_-. =. bss@iguanasuicide.net ((_/)o o(\_)) ICQ: 514984 YM/AIM: DaTwinkDaddy `-'(. .)`-' http://iguanasuicide.net/ \_/
