           Summary: Scaling the taskmanager is near impossible.
           Product: plasma
           Version: unspecified
          Platform: unspecified
        OS/Version: Linux
            Status: NEW
          Severity: normal
          Priority: NOR
         Component: general
        AssignedTo: panel-devel kde org
        ReportedBy: zander kde org


Version:            (using Devel)

The taskmanager is a stubbern plasmoid.  If you have it outside of your panel, just floating on your desktop, it will try to 'correct' your scaling attempts, most of the time incorrect.
Even worse; quitting and restarting plasma sometimes makes the taskmanager looks horribly small.
General rule; it keeps on getting smaller, no matter how hard you try to get it to be a nice big taskbar.

To reproduce, insert a taskmanager plasmoid somewhere on your desktop (i.e. not on a panel).
It defaults to a horizontal on.  Some 300x80 pixels or so.
Try to scale it so it becomes a vertical taskmanager.  With that I mean a taskmanager that is 250 pixels wide and 1000 pixels tall.
Using the controls, I found that it basically can't be done. (even while holding the ctrl or shift buttons).
