I think this would be very counterintuitive.  For people who don't yet kn=
ow=20
what "Custom" mode is, the KDE users, how would they know what to in "Cus=
tom"=20
mode?  I can imagine setting the menu to custom mode and wondering, what =
now? =20
I think this is a little confusing right now.  If I were a normal user I'=
m=20
not sure that I would know what custom mode is.

I think if this is going to be done, more information will have to be add=
ed to=20
the menu than another option.  I think there would need to be a slider fo=
r=20
the size. =20

For all practical purposes, my patch is a locking mechanism.  You turn on=
 the=20
resize handle, change the size of kicker and turn off the resize handle. =
