I personally like to have my taskbar at the top of the screen and not filling the entire width of the screen.
However when I do this the little plasma config buttons (liquid drops or whatever they are) on the desktop and taskbar
now look totally out of place. On the taskbar the icon covers part of the transparent section and looks ugly, On the desktop it is no
longer in the corner but kind of hovering out in space where it would be up against the taskbar.
I understand the need for these, and think they work well in general however hard-coding the location
of these doesn't make sense given the themablity and configuration options for the various container.

I have a screen shot of the problem but to reproduce simply put the taskbar at the top of the screen and make it shorter so that there is space at either end. Using a theme such as Marysia (new on kdelook) will highlight the problem with the taskbar button.

Note this is only a visual problem (ie it looks bad), but since the rest of the desktop now looks so awesome it kind of sticks out like a sore thumb.
