I would also like this to get implemented. The nice thing about the kde 3 taskbar is that it puts the buttons in a small space and they are easy to see without having to scan the entire width of the taskbar(unless you have a full taskbar wich is usually not the case). Filling them left-to-right would make things worse.
The buttons are quite easy to hit and the text is easy to read since it is displayed horizontically. Making them larger will not accomplish anything. This is just a case of making things prettier at the expense of usability.
The only point that Aaron made is about code complexity wich is quite bullshit since it has to be able to display two rows anyway. The only difference this will make is that you would set it to display rows regardless of the number of tasks that you have.
