I'm not so sure if plasmoids started from desktop and panel have to be equal (if at \
all than I'd care about the caption). For what reason, familiarity? And the final \
size in the last picture (clipboardMinimumSize.png) is way too small to suit user's \
needs. That is here to browse through and read the content. For example 'dd \
if=/dev/zero of=/dev/s...' thrills only the bravest. The size of clipboard-new.png is \
okay. The current size for the panel based plasmoid is reasonable and similar to \
other plasmoids like the notification. And it fits the general visual style of \
Breeze. But that's only a two cent option. (BTW: I read in several postings that \
Breeze becomes very breezy with too large marigins and spaces.) Whether 

What I rather would expect is that a desktop plugin shows the list permanently and \
has means for resizing. Actually what is shown in the last screenshot but with a \
better default size. Took me some time to figure out how to achieve this (was aware \
of the option only because of the screenshot): One has to long click the icon! And \
there is no way back.

tl;dr: (sorry for all my considerations; writing down all thoughts while testing is \
somewhat verbose)

* same height is okay but not really necessary
* default size should be large enough to read the labels 
* users should be able to minimize as much as possible, so yes to the patch if it's \
not the default
