I am starting to wonder if we are talking about the same thing. I don't
remember having the option of setting anything to "40".

The only place where I know that one can alter the icon size is in
Desktop Configuration>Icons>Advanced where one alters the size of the
icons on the Desktop (just like in KDE3). The icons on the taskbar are
adjusted differently as far as I am concerned. (See also next point.)

If you right-click on an empty spot on the taskbar a menu shows up;
select Panel Settings and another 'taskbar' appears; in the middle of
this bar is a box named 'Height'. If you left-click and hold on this box
you can then move the whole bar up or down -- and as you do so you will
find that it either squashes or makes bigger (in height) the taskbar. In
my earlier msg I stated that your taskbar looked too squashed; perhaps
you should try and 'unsquash' it a bit to see if that problem of yours
disappears.


Also, when the second bar appears at the extreme right hand there is an
item called More Settings. Here you can set the taskbar to autohide
(just like in KDE3).


One other thing. By default there are 4 Desktop icons in the taskbar and
they are in two rows - which I find annoying. If you right-click inside
any one of the desktop icons and select Pager Settings you get the
choice to select how many Rows are to be used for the icons. I always
select 1x Row which makes the taskbar lower in height.

Nah, that would make it less fun and it would produce less
complaints/bug reports which would make the developers feel unwanted.

Ciao.
