Gnome panel systray - unefficient application icons arrangement

[laksdjfaasdf]

It would be nice if the application icons shown in the Gnome systray would be
arranged in rows when the panel size is big enough.

If you size the panel for example to 75 pixels the application list gets 3 rows
but the application icons in the systray stay arranged in one row - that's wasted horizontal space.

That means they use more horizontal space than if they would be arranged in 2
or 3 rows like the applications in the application list applet.

See attached screenshot.

In the screenshot the applications in the application list applet are shown in 3 rows.

But the application icons in systray stay arranged in one row. It would be
better if they would be arranged in 2 or 3 rows to save horizontal space if you have lots of systray icons.

Thanks for your bug. That's some similar bug upstream speaking about resizing the icons or using multiple lines for it: http://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=102183

i join myself to this bug report

Volume control button, deskbar button (applets), OOo icon and networkmanager icon (systray), although all bundled with Ubuntu, don't scale when i increase the size of my panel to 35 pixels
I think that these applications should provide svg icons (or different size icons)
