Description Ben Kevan 2009-06-12 17:31:46 UTC 
Version:            (using KDE 4.2.90)
OS:                Linux
Installed from:    SuSE RPMs

In KDE3 and other DE's when you add a quick launcher to the panel it takes minimal space and grows as you add (the preferred method). in KDE4, the quick launcher takes up 100% of the available space in the panel, and adding equal blank space to the icons within the quick launcher, thus spreading everything out and making it IMO unusable. 

I reported this as a bug and not a feature request since it seems to be unexpected behavior. 

Also, here is a feature request that i'd also like to add: 
Right Click Add Icon from Menu in the Quick Launch Applet would be quite nice to have also.

Aaron, if other plasmoids are found that share this behaviour, should new bugs be opened for them or should they be tacked onto this bug?
