Okay, this is just rant, unless someone can actually suggest a fix. It drives me freakin' crazy that the rectangles that represent windows on the Gnome task bar change their size, seemingly at random. For example, right now I have a terminal and a browser open. Both of their rectangles are about 2.5 inches wide. If I open another terminal window there are three rectangles (which makes sense) but they're each almost four inches wide now. If I open some other application (which makes four now) then they drop to a little less than the width of the original two, and they seem to drop consistently from there, as more gets opened. Also, the window widths change as the application merely changes what was in the title bar, sometimes by half an inch, sometimes drastically. Also, when I open an application that already has an instance opened, Gnome puts it's rectangle next to the other one and doesn't give me the option to change that. And when I open the properties window for the task bar it puts it all the way at the beginning (left side) of the task bar!! It just doesn't make sense!!
