--- Comment #4 from Eike Hein <h...@kde.org> ---
Ok, so I think there's something more to consider here, namely vertical panels.
With the current value of 7, with most common vertical panel widths, the text
label will currently be collapsed, leaving only the icons. If I lower the value
to 3, many common vertical panel widths will end up with (very little) text
shown. On the face of it this makes sense, since wanting text labels is a
reason to use the regular Task Manager over the Icons-only version, and people
who don't want text could just use Icons-only. However for historical reasons,
there's more difference between the two applets than that ... the ITM has
slightly different default options and slightly different (less) settings
available, as it's our "this satisfies your dock cravings" applet.

Basically, if I lower this value to 3 as the only change, I know it's going to
piss some users off who want a "clean" icon task bar in ther vert panel but
still regular TM behavior and options. Instead I could go with 5, which is just
outside typical panel widths used by such users. That's the lowest I could go
without opening this can of worms for now (which may have to be opened
eventually).

Please try this out with:

  plasmoidviewer --formfactor vertical --applet org.kde.plasma.taskmanager

And let me know your opinions.
