update: replicating the scenario with the very simple test program attached  
the problem doesn't appear.
but if in the taskbar i explicitly remove all the items from the layout before 
a relayout the problem is still here, i.e the debug output says it placed only 
items in the first row but items are resized as the rows were two

so the situation is weirder and weirder, it doesn't seem a bug of the grid 
layout but something at our end, this gives hope but seems tricky
i suspect has something to do with size hints and preferred sizes, will do 
some more experiments later today.
hopefully the solution is way simpler than it seemed in the first place :D

Cheers,
Marco Martin
