strange alignment of plasmoid in top panel

[saurav]

Binary package hint: kdebase-plasma

When plasmoids are added to top panel, there is problem with their size and alignment. e.g. size of digital clock plasmoid and systray are large and their contents are centrally aligned. As can be seen in the attached screenshot, there is a huge gap on both sides of digital clock plasmoid (actually it is the complete clock plasmoid centrally aligned)

This is normal. By default widgets in the panel take up as much space as they can.
In KDE 4.3 though there will be a spacer that you can add, so once KDE 4.3 is added to Kubuntu 9.10 this can be closed as fixed.

The fix has been released to the development version of Kubuntu 9.10.
Backported packages of the KDE 4.3 beta will be made available for Kubuntu 9.04 users in the next few days.
