[Kde-accessibility] Kicker in 3.4 makes using taskbar harder to use

[Frank Schmitt]

Hello

There's an accessibility problem with the taskbar in KDE 3.4 for people
who have problems keeping the mouse steady. Before 3.4, you could set
the kicker size to 38 or 29 Pixels, this gave you reasonably large
application buttons and only one row of large buttons in the taskbar.

Since 3.4 a kicker size of less than 40 pixels results in tiny
application buttons which are really hard to hit. If the size is 40 or
more pixels, the application buttons are ok but the taskbar changes from
one row to two rows of buttons which are therefor only half as thick as
with only one row. Thos results in difficulties hitting the right button
in taskbar.

The best solution would be:
Application buttons should be scaled to the maximum possible size
instead of switching from 32x32 down to 16x16.
There should be an option preventing the taskbar from showing two rows
of buttons.

As a short term solution the change from 3.3 to 3.4 I described above
should be reverted.

MFG Frank
