KDE provides an icon-only task manager and a "normal" task manager which shows the window title on each taskbar entry.  But when a large number of windows open, KDE switches to showing only the icon on the taskbar.  It does this even though there is clearly room to still show text on the taskbar buttons.  For instance, on my system, with 10 tasks on the taskbar, it shows about 6 characters of each window title (plus a "..." indicating truncation), and the icon for each taskbar button is aligned to the left.  But then if I open one more window, all the entries switch to a different layout with the icon in the middle and no text at all.

I would like an option to make KDE not do this at all.  I *always* want to see as much of the window title as will fit on the taskbar button, even if it's only one character.  I should be able to have at least twice as many items on the taskbar as I currently have, while still seeing a bit of text on each.

I choose to use the regular task manager because I don't want an icon-only task manager.  I don't want the taskbar to switch to showing only icons under any circumstances.
