Version: (using KDE 3.5.9) Installed from: Gentoo Packages Compiler: gcc-4.3.1 OS: Linux Whenever a (moni-) program is added to the control panel, the existing icons are re-sorted, the size is changed ... although there was free space left for the additional icon; thus I have to manually restore my layout again and again. Alternative: Always add new icons to the free space at the end of the layout.

Could you explain better you problem? What do you mean with "control panel"? What version of KDE are you using? KDE 3.5.9 doesn't have plasma.

I'm talking of the main control panel where the K-menu resides, the browser icon, etc. I've never mentioned plasma ... ?
Yes, look at the product... well, I'm changing it so it will be corrected :)
Uuups - sorry, but I really don't know how the BUG reporting WIZARD resorted to selecting that ... Anyway: thanks for correcting the association ! Kind regards - m.
