            Bug ID: 331754
           Summary: panel icons are too big, they resize automatically,
                    although this may not be the best option.
    Classification: Unclassified
           Product: systemsettings
           Version: 4.11.4
          Platform: Mageia RPMs

            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: normal
          Priority: NOR
         Component: kcm_icons

Panel icons are too big and they expand horizontally taking too much useful
space.
They should be resizable by user and systemsettings  should allow reordering
them on rows(as it is for tasks-- similar to task manager). 
Groupping similar tasks should be optional for user. Importing profile from
older versions works, but creating a new one does not work. Backward
compatibility is only partially preserved (in terms of the way things are
displayed on the screen).

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1.Resize pannel
2.Icons exapand
3.no way to reduce their size;
Actual Results:  
Icons are too big! We cannot add applications to the panel. It's either adding
to desktop or dig into the menu.

Expected Results:  
Icons should be resizable by user to match the screen size and resolution
desired by user.
The user should have the decision of the size, not the system/programmer.

In an older version this bug was present, then was fixed in a later one, but
now is back again.
Changing the icon size in the menu has no effect. I think that last time I had
to edit a config file, then it worked from the system settings but  now the
structure seems to be changed -- too complex to dig in.

In general adding some feature should not destroy old functionality,
unfortunatelly programmers often forget or ignore this basic courtesy rule.
