It only works that way (and, therefore, appears to work correctly) when 
you have it in the same panel as the TaskManager.  I find that an 
'overhead console' is quite convenient -- or it would be if it wasn't 
filled with the SystemTray.  My best guess is that they both have 100% 
as the default size but the TaskManager has a higher priority. 
Actually, the TaskManager only appears to have 100% as the default 
width.  The default height works correctly when it is in a vertical 
panel.  However (drifting OT) the digital clock does not work correctly 
(4.2.0) in a vertical panel (the height expands to fill the available 
space). :-(  Are these really driven by common library functions?
