I want to change it in the future, but for now there isn't much way around.
note that is also the behavior for c++ plasmoids. the ones that collapse and 
expand depending to the size are the ones that have just an icon.
for that you can just make an applet of type popupapplet, not setting the 
compact representation and an icon will be used instead
