SysTray icons

Hi guys! :)
I use KDE 3.5.2 under Kubuntu 6.06 LTS (dapper)
When I have 5 icons in the system tray, thay stay in two rows, but when they got 6 or more, they go to only one row and I don't have enough room for my windows. So my question is: "how am I supposed to make them stay in two rows, or even in three?".
Thanks!

You can only set them to two rows, not three.
Right-click on the panel and choose Configure Panel. Set the size to Custom 48. That's the smallest size that allows 2 rows for the system tray. You can also set it to Large, if you want.

Thanks a lot!!!
( As you can guess, setting the size to 72 makes them in three rows:) )

Oh, yeah! I forgot that you can set it to 3 rows.
Heheh! sorry for that. :D

Actually, you can set it to as many rows as you want, depending on the size of the panel.

Hm, you may fin interesting that:
Today I updated to KDE 3.5.4 and saw my systray icons again in one row. After a few tries, I concluded, that the size of the panel has to be 52 pixels for the icons to fit in two rows. So the new "row height" (or whatever it is) is 26, not 24, right?

I'm using KDE 3.5.4, and the minimum panel size for 2 rows in the system tray is still 48.
