Version: (using KDE 4.0.82) Installed from: Ubuntu Packages I think this solution is a bit ugly, but it is better to have an ugly solution than unreadable panel with very small entries for apps. User should be able to set the minimum size of app entry, if the panel hits the limit < > widgets should appear.

Ok, splitting the main report back into pieces -- reopening (for reason see: http://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=162568#c18 )
Hello! This feature request was filed for KDE Plasma 4, which reached end-of-support status in August 2015. KDE Plasma 5's desktop shell has been almost completely rewritten for better performance and usability, so it is likely that this feature request is already implemented in Plasma 5, or is no longer applicable. Accordingly, we hope you understand why we must close this feature request. If the requested feature is still desired but not implemented in KDE Plasma 5.12 or later, please feel free to open a new ticket in the "plasmashell" product after reading https://community.kde.org/Get_Involved/Bug_Reporting If you would like to get involved in KDE's bug triaging effort so that future mass bug closes like this are less likely, please read https://community.kde.org/Get_Involved#Bug_Triaging Thanks for your understanding!
