From Bugzilla Helper: User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.0.1) Gecko/20020830 Description of problem: In KDE environment there is extra empty space in the system tray. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): How reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Install RH 8.0 2. Login KDE 3. Change panel size to normal 4. Add a couple of things in the system tray (for example korganizer, korn, etc...) Actual Results: See how there is always extra space in the system tray. Expected Results: The width of the system tray should be minimal so that all icons fit in it with no extra space between them. Additional info: This behavior did not show up in RH 7.x
That is the space occupied by the PAM applet that will sometimes pop-up as 'keys' when you authenticate something via consolehelper (as root). I think this should be a RFE that is should leave ~some~ icon as not to confuse people. Cheers, -Ali
