Bug#481373: gnome-panel: would like to change vertical width to less than 23 pixels

[Kevin Mitchell]

Package: gnome-panel
Version: 2.20.3-4
Severity: wishlist


The gnome environment is visually impressive and intuituve to use. This
has made it the desktop of choice for many distributions attempting to
appeal to non-expert users. Expert users however are often left wanting
for customizabiltity. This wishlist item is one that might help sway
some of those expert users over.

Would it be possible to allow the gnome panel to be resized to less than
23 pixels. This is something I really like about pypanel for example as
it allows me to save valuable vertical screenspace on my widescreen
laptop.
