Many thanks to those who worked on this.  However, I am still having trouble with \
this bug. (Note: I'm *not* the original poster.)

In particular, the clock is fine when in plain mode, but it still grows too big when \
in the digital, analog, or fuzzy modes.  Likewise, the pager grows bigger than I want \
when resizing the panel.  Is there any technical reason why pager only allows 1, 2, \
and 3 columns??  Why not 8 or more?

And again, why can't I manually choose the panel's icon size?  Control center -> \
Icons -> Advanced allows choosing icon sizes for the desktop, toolbar, etc., but the \
option for panels is grayed out.  I would prefer having a smaller K Menu button at \
the top of my panel; but the icon size is inextricably linked to the panel width.

Also (and this may belong in another bug report), the panel keeps resizing each time \
I change its auto-hide status.  For example, I select a custom panel size greater \
than 128 by enabling drag-and-drop resizing.  It is hard to do this accurately when \
the panel auto-hides too fast, so I disable auto-hiding.  After dragging the panel to \
my desired size (about 20% of the screen width), I go back to the control center and \
re-enable automatic hiding.  Voila! Kicker reverts to 128 pixels wide.  Why does it \
have to do this?  Even changing the K menu's button background has the same effect.

** Reply to Benjamin:
Multiple taskbars bother me.  For one thing, the secondary taskbar tends to get lost. \
For another, its often nice to do multiple things without having to change between \
taskbars.
