------- I think this bug/wishlist is better described as an option to 'scale taskbar \
buttons to use available space' or not.

Aaron: I understand your point about making it easier to hit, but if that is the \
'ideal' then the solution would be to scale a single button to fill the entire \
taskbar. We don't do that because it's weird, unfamiliar, and familiarity is central \
to usability.

I would suggest that if a user regularly has enough applications open to fill the \
taskbar then it's possible that smaller buttons may be more 'familiar' - for that \
person - and represent a usability gain.

Would setting a default button-height (just as we currently have a predefined \
button-width) and making this toggleable be *that* complicated?
