that's because kicker doesn't differentiate between "custom" and "standard 
size".. it just uses pixel sizes, which is fine ... the relationship between 
"small", "large", etc... is purely cosmetic... this wasn't the case in kde1 
and 2, but is an improvement for kicker internally IMO...

anyways, this (rather cosmetic) bug could be fixed by adding an option in the 
kickerrc called SizeCustom ... but for it work properly, kicker would need to 
get patched as well and i'm not sure that's the best thing for kicker 
itself...

how big of a problem is this really?


btw, i don't think i got the original email that this was a part of.. master 
is down so none of the lists are getting through.. perhaps you could email me 
the entirety of the original email?
