When selecting 'Display Gnome/KDE Status docklet' in Gabber preferences, the statusdock doesn't come up in a panel statusdock. It just hovers somewhere around the screen. The statusdock on the panel however does adjust it's size to the size of the gabber-statusdock icon. (I can only confirm this for Gnome, don't have KDE)
this might not be the dock applet, might be the GNOME status dock. I haven't had time to look into the matters
the gabber docklet is supposed to work in the KDE panel.
I happend to hear what the problem for this is. It's in Sawfish (probably >= 1.0.0 but perhaps only 1.0.1). http://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=62652
Well, i tried reverting back to sawfish 1.0 and the dockapplet works correctly now. So as a temporary solution, switch back to 1.0.
So it's actually a sawfish bug? I'm closing it down here then...
