This is a good point. However, KDE is currently completely unusable at 
640x480; my screenshot was intended to demonstrate that the Kicker now leaves 
enough room for the taskbar, system tray, and clock at various resolutions. 

I intended to look in to KDE at low-resolutions for 3.2, and I will keep your 
suggestion in mind

the patch I original posted here.

Thanks for the comments,
