Description Nguyen Thai Ngoc Duy 2008-03-16 09:43:00 UTC 
I usually set my horizontal panel width 24 pixels. With new gnome-panel release, menu bar will request at least 32 pixels, making the panel ridiculously big. A quick search over the source shows there is a constant ICON_SIZE, which is set 32. I did not dig further though

Patch

A simple fix to allow menu bar applet to be resizable is to call  :
   panel_widget_set_applet_size_constrained()
when setting up the applet in panel-menu-bar.c.

Patch attached applies to trunk achieves this.

Only draw back is the image/icon dosen't resize, not sure why as I thought the
current theme handled this.

Another fix is to change the icon of the menu bar to not be of the same size as the one in the menu.

On the other hand, it makes sense to have this icon of the same size as the one in the menu, so it could well be WONTFIX. Just keep sane icon sizes... (there's a patch in opensuse to change the size, eg).

Did it this way. We already had the infrastructure for this anyway.
