My request is for system tray icons that column on top of each other depending on the panel height. They would have to be a forced uniform size for this apparently instead of stretchable like many of them. It probably depends on how the icon in the applications themselves are designed to act in the tray, but I think a task tray that acts similar to the KDE one running KDE apps would be nicer.

Should be fixed in trunk. Please re-open if you still have problems.

After the changes, it acts better indeed but I think the panel size threshold is a little off, perhaps. It could be the things I have there, I don't know. The SCIM icon is always there. I also have zim, stardict, and when I use audacious, pidgin and xchat, those are there.

The thing is that the panel has to be resized all the way to 58px to get the column effect, and there is a few pixels of empty space below that. I don't know if this was the intended effect, but I think making them sit tighter around the smallest space possible would work/look a lot better. The size of the piled up icons is good, imo.

You can now set the number of rows in trunk. Icon size allocation didn't changed. If icons look 'smaller' when the allocated size (for example audacious always uses all allocated space, but pidgin doesn't), that's because the icon implementation of gtk. I've filled a bug report with patch about that on Gnome's bugzilla, but I doubt they will include it.

Closing this one. Please reopen if you think the panel plugin can improve this behaviour.
