In the new GNOME 2 tasklist applet, the task buttons resize based on
available space and longest title.  This pretty broken in many cases since
window names can be (1) Very Large and (2) change frequently.  

Applications which have this behavior are:

* Evolution
* Galeon
* Star Office
* Mozilla
* Netscape

Evolution's composer makes the email subject the title of the editor
window.  Thus, as you type, the tasklist on the panel looks animated as it
tries to grow the task buttons larger and larger to fit it all.  

Galeon's window title changes every time you visit a new web page, and the
task list buttons change size every time.  Not only is this distracting,
but, since Galeon is a web browser and the web can be slow, can resize the
task buttons at seemingly random times.  Several times I've been about to
click on a new task only to have the button moved out from under me.

This effect is not only ugly, but also distracting AND makes the new
tasklist difficult to use.

Task Buttons should have a maximum size that they start with and KEEP.  If
there isn't enough space, they should shrink to fit more buttons in.  This
is how it works in GNOME 1, KDE, and in Windows.  It probably works that
way in other environments with similar task lists too.
