Version: (using Devel) Installed from: Compiled sources if the panel is small, the icons of the quicklauncher are very small. The minimal size should be 16x16 pixel.
Created attachment 31647 [details] screenshot with 2 quicklauchers (panel and desktop) The quicklauncher in panel is between logout/lock plasmaoid and konsole sessions plasmaoid. The quicklauncher on desktop is to show whats inside.
I can confirm this bug with KDE 4.2.1. The behavior in KDE 4.2.0 was still okay. If the panel is on the right or left side of the screen the size of the icons inside of the quicklauncher are correct. The size is also correct if quicklauncher is added to the desktop. It only misbehaves if quicklauncher is inside a toppanel or a bottompanel. This problem only exists if there are too many icons for one row in the quicklaunch. A newly added quicklaunch has 3 icons and the setting Maximum Row is set to 2, so the problem exists. If I change the Maximum Row setting to 3, or delete one of the icons, the quicklaunch is displayed correctly. But if more than 4 icons are added, quicklaunch always want to display them in more than one row and therefore the icons are always too small.

I keep 15 icons in a quicklaunch immediately to the left of my system tray, and the whole quicklaunch has disappeared suddenly, even though going to the "Add Widgets" menu shows that it is still enabled.
Trip Ericson: Sounds like your problem is related to Bug 186199
I have the same problem on Gentoo x86_64 box with Qt 4.5.0

Hey! Thanks for the report, I'm working on a sollution now... was this working in 4.2.0? Lukas
Yes, it used to work for me when I used KDE 4.2.0 and Qt 4.4.2. When I upgraded to KDE 4.2.1 and Qt 4.5.0 it started to happen here. As described in https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=186199 if I remove the Task Manager Plasmoid it works as expected.
I can confirm that quicklaunch worked normally on Kubuntu/Intrepid with KDE-4.2.0. After upgrade to 4.2.1 I can see the problem. I still use QT-4.4.3 so the bug does not depend on QT upgrade. The same problem exists on OpenSUSE-11.1, once again after upgrade to 4.2.1. Alex
Ok thanks guys! Seems like some guy broke it while fixing a crash. ;) Lukas
Created attachment 31888 [details] quicklaunchApplet fix for too small icons and applet disappearing after number of icons > max visible icons I have created this patch that fixed the problem to me, please test it. The icons are too small because of s_defaultSpacing being 2 pixels (I guess it is in pixels), maybe we should change it to 1 pixel.
I mean, the s_defaultSpacing is not the problem but even with this patch the icons a little too small to my taste, so I think we should change s_defaultSpacing to 1 pixel. If you do that you must also change s_defaultIconSize to 16 minus s_defaultSpacing.

I don't know if it was fixed in Kubuntu or fixed upstream, but upon logging in today my Quicklaunch returned! =)

My system is up to date but I still have this bug. Removal of .kde or quicklaunch doesn't change anything.
It was fixed after 4.2.1 release, will be included in 4.2.2 (or you can poke your distro/packager to include the patch, see comment #25)

I've just updated my Gentoo system, and this bug dissapeared! thanks =)
