If we can make icons shrink, that'd be cool. I find 22px as a limitation too 
much, frankly.

The thing is that you *can* make the panel smaller than 22px, but below 22px 
you just start shifting the whole panel offscreen (which actually isn't too 
bad for 2 or three px), but then it gets ugly quickly. So having that down to 
16 would be awesome.

I know I shouldn't have looked into systray.cpp ;)
