Personally, I've had a horrible time accidently resizing Kicker, and I was 
considering making a patch of my own. I hate to say it, but Windows XP 
handles a resizable taskbar extremely well: when the taskbar is resizeable 
(not "locked"), it draws a handle above the taskbar to grab on. When one 
"locks" the taskbar, this handle disappears, and also prevents one from 
moving the taskbar.

Personally, I think something like that (being able to lock both moving and 
sizing, with visual feedback as to its state) would make Kicker much less 
frustrating to use.
