Jonathan: the taskbar users the most of the space it has. larger targets == easier to \
hit. it's not worth the complexity at either the code level or the UI level to make \
it always use two rows as an option: the win is tiny. the root of your issue is that \
you don't like how it looks, and what i'm suggesting is that there is probably a way \
to make it *look* better even in single row mode. unless you really mean "i like it \
being hard to hit the window entries." which i don't think you do. so the solution is \
to work on the appearance of the single row taskbar. and if that still doesn't do it \
for you, well, find another taskbar applet.
RafaĆ: it's not just too many, it's the wrong options or just plain bad options (as \
defined by: work around problems rather than solve them). as for the "but then \
someone will want the existing behaviour back" quandry, see the reply to Jonathan \
above.
Dan: the sane way is going left-to-right then top-to-bottom on add and vice-versa on \
remove. the layout animator sucks in that regard, but the improvement is fairly \
obvious and doesn't require any configuration options.
Emil: it's still configuration overload if they are stuffed to the rafters in an \
application config dialog. and that doesn't address the impact on the code base \
either. and for the record, getting at taskbar settings could be done by right \
clicking in kde3 as well.
as for wanting things as cramped as possible so you get unused space ... that's just \
something we'll have to disagree on. the point of having space there is to use it.
