I think this would be very counterintuitive.  For people who don't yet know 
what "Custom" mode is, the KDE users, how would they know what to in "Custom" 
mode?  I can imagine setting the menu to custom mode and wondering, what now?  
I think this is a little confusing right now.  If I were a normal user I'm 
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 added to 
the menu than another option.  I think there would need to be a slider for 
the size.  

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