Review request for Plasma.


Changes
-------

Here's a new patch.

I don't know why, but the magic difference between the height of the M and the x somehow seems to be the only thing that works all the time...

So in this patch, I'm removing the part forcing the text rectangle to (0, 0), which solves the problem with text being cut off for narrow task items, but does not change the normal behavior.


Summary
-------

This patch properly aligns text to the drawable rectangle, thus preventing any part of the text from being cut off if there is still space available.

It removes two things:

- Code that sets the text at (0, 0) if the "text" is larger than the rectangle (which is not correct since there is additional interline spacing added to top and bottom which need not be shown)

- The part where it for some strange reason lowers all the text by the difference between the height of the 'M' and the 'x', thus pushing it out of the drawable area.


This addresses bug 178776.
