Version: (using KDE 4.0.83) Installed from: Ubuntu Packages When the panel with the Task Manager in it is reduced in size it eventually disappears totally. This is especially confusing if the Panel is small, when the Task Manager is been added to the panel.
confirmed.
for clarity: reduced in size in which way? length or height? (assuming a horizontal panel)
Problem is in height. Length works alright.
not much we can do about the height issue, really, until we get a new systray spec up on fd.o.
We could; 1) if height()<22 use e.g. 16x16 or 2) systrayapplet->setMinHeight(22); bot sure if 2) is a good solution but 1) works well and I did test it already :) But imho it's a feature since it may introduce new problems/bugs if we have such scale-logic in and I rather would prefer to have first the fixed 22x22 working 100% (aka things like bug #164786 done) before starting to integrate such kind of logic. So, may better to don't do there anything till at least 4.1 was released and trunk is open again.

it works ok in trunk; you get massive repainting due to "oh no i'm hidden, oh wait, no i'm not" in the tray icons themselves, but they are visible and you can interact with them even at the smallest size possible.
Created attachment 29169 [details] Screenshot from SVN snapshot 2008.12.05. showing invisible systray icons I still get this problem with an SVN snapshot from 2008.12.05. The attached screenshot shows a systray with invisible icons. Also, there's no way to interact with the icons.
