as you can see the size of the task bar entry for "gnome rocks property" is very
large. it happens a lot of time - the size of the task bar entry is not consistent.

this behaviour hasnt been fix since a long time.

sometimes the size of task bar entry for a application is very large and
streches across the whole task bar or sometimes it is verty small.

i hope this is fixed 

thanks gnome developers for such great desktop you have given us
