[Panel-devel] panel layout & contentSizeHint()

[Sebastian Kügler]

When dragging the battery from the plasmaappletbrowser (pab) to the panel, it 
gets too much horizontal space. I've put in some logic last night to 
advertise, via contentSizeHint() the correct size. The size the applet gets 
from the panel is 765.5x56, the contentSizeHint() returns a square of 56x56 
accordingly. I would assume that the panel understands from the applet's 
contentSizeHint() that this applet doesn't need all that space and make the 
space that it has reserved for it smaller. 
I know, it's work in progress, but I'm not even really sure the above 
assumptions are correct, so bear with me :)

Is the above behaviour a bug in the panel layout or in the applet? If $2, what 
does it need to do different?


And because things look gorgeous lately, I've made screenshots of what 
happens:
