This problem exists in all kdebase-3.1 rpms as well as kdebase-3.1.1 RedHat rpms. The problem is that the application and other icons on the panel are fixed at their maximized size. Normaily they are 32 points and get zoomed when the mouse pointer is on them. This is due to patch 54 (I always have to remove this patch and recompile kdebase). Is this a convention that RedHat decided to have or is it an unintended result of patch 54? Thanks
i would say it's a feature, not a bug. But if you want to disable this option you should add IconResize=false in /usr/share/config/kdeglobals .... [PanelIcons] Size=48 IconResize=false .... Info: you need new kdebase-3.1.3-1 or newer for doing that. KDE 3.1.3 will be available in rawhide soon
