ah, yes... known problem... changes to the kickerrc don't cause a reload in 
the kcontrol. i'm not sure if this is common to all kcontrol modules 
(signalling a larger problem) or unique to kicker... i haven't played around 
w/it enough to find out =)

you are quite correct that this should be fixed, though...

because if someone doesn't pick custom as a size, they don't want a custom 
size. they want one of the presets. i agree that it is strange that you can 
resize only if it is set to Custom and that there is no way to turn it off.

i wouldn't add the "turn on / off resize by dragging" to the main kicker kcm, 
though... i'd probably make an advanced dialog at that point containing it 
along with hide button sizing and show/hide applet handles.

another nicety would be to enable drag-resizing on all resizeable panels. 
right now it only seems to work on the main panel and not child panels.
