I was told by someone else that this is an openSUSE-specific patch, so the feature doesn't exist upstream. Is this accurate? If so, reporting it to bugs.kde.org wouldn't help.
Oh dear, you're right. See KDE:Distro:Factory kdelibs4 plasma-panel-resize- hint.diff. Consider me on it, unless someone with a grasp of basic maths gets there first ;).

Thanks Todd for the heads up.
Will, glad you found the .diff file to fix the plasma-panel. Close one ;-)
Has this patch been rejected upstream? If not, someone should probably try to push it upstream for 4.7.
But before that, I do have a request, if possible. There have been a lot of requests to be able to precisely change the size of the panel. I think a good solution would be to allow people to change the size in one-pixel increments by rotating the mouse wheel over the number. Would it be possible to include this feature? This would allow someone to get the size roughly right by dragging, then fine-tune it using the mouse wheel.

Todd,
If the panel can be fixed over the weekend, the panel can be ready before the release of 11.4 RC1.
I think you are misunderstanding. Currently this is an openSUSE-specific feature, it is not included with the vanilla version of plasma. My questions is whether this can be submitted to the plasma developers for inclusion in the official version of plasma. Since KDE SC 4.6 has been in feature freeze for months, if you did this it would not ship with the default KDE until 4.7. openSUSE could continue to use their own patch until then, then remove the patch when the feature is included in the vanilla release.
Has this request been logged with bugzilla ? I also submit requests with bugs.kde.org.
Yes: https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=260391 But I submitted that before I learned this was an openSUSE-specific feature and not part of upstream KDE. The feature is useless without the openSUSE-specific patch. I would close the bug report, but my hope was that openSUSE would try to get the patch incorporated upstream, at which point the bug report would be valid. -Todd -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-kde+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-kde+help@opensuse.org
