Bug Description

Binary package hint: gnome-panel

Vertical panel with Window List, Main Menu, Launchers, Workspace Switcher etc is almost unsuable. Window List is too big, Launchers icons are too big, Main Menu icon is too big. Almost every component/aplet is messed up some how. It's almost impossible to use wide vertical panel (about 100-150 px).

Vertical panel is very important for wide screen users (they have additional space for wide vertical panel).

Maybe panel should behave like the one in Windows (since W98 working great in vertical position).

P.S. Sorry for my English.

What version of Ubuntu are you using? I seem to have no problem at all with the vertical panel (ok, I don't like the sideways text). Please do not confirm your own bugs in the future.
