Version: 3.5.5 (using KDE 3.5.5, Kubuntu (edgy) 4:3.5.5-0ubuntu3) Compiler: Target: i486-linux-gnu OS: Linux (i686) release 2.6.17-10-generic The bug is similar to bug no. 85603, with a few differences. The basic problem is that when the top panel's size is set to "tiny", the k menu, settings, and system menu look awfull. They're too big (compared to the other icons, and are cropped. Changing the panel size to normal "fixes" that. My bug refers to the applet menus icons, and not system tray (as in bug 85603) and also kde version is different (i'm using 3.5.5). I'm attaching a screen shot that displays the problem.
