My exact response to the highlighted part was to scream "What?!? You 
WHAT?!?". I went to check this and found that is it true. There is a 
setting there, it is set to 32 pixels, and unlike the other categories 
(Desktop, Toolbar, Main Toolbar, etc) is is explicitly disabled.

Why would you do that? Why would you set an arbitrary size limit and 
then explicitly disable the option to change it, while still leaving it 
there to mock the user? What reason was there?

Which means it's going to be (to my mind) broken for at least another 
nine months. Joy.

Is this going to be an especially complicated thing if it does get 
fixed/changed (take your pick)? My question about is quite genuine, I 
don't see why the option was disabled in the first place, and I 
certainly can't see how enabling it would be a major and disruptive change.
