max size is currently 1/3rd of the screen
min size is currently 16px.

they must shrink down to an appropriate size (this can include hiding/showing 
parts of the UI) and/or or become a popup when there is not enough room.

the system tray currently violates this as the xembed icons have a set minimum 
size that we can do very little about as they are out of process embedded 
windows. probably all xembed icons should be moved to the hidden area when the 
area allow for the tray is less than the height/width of an xembed entry.

the tasks widget similarly does not scale visually down below 22px very 
nicely. the count below the arrow on groups is too tall, the frame too thick 
on small panels.
