Comment 9 for bug 1025706

well, in this case the icon is actually still squared :-)
But another case is for instance the Clock in numeric mode (if you
display the seconds or the date, it's better to enlarge the icon), or
the Switcher (in a panel, it's better to display your desktops side by
side, in a wide icon).

However, the icons are always constrained by the default height. I
understand that the icon suddenly becoming non-square might shock at
first though ^_^

> I upgraded cairo-dock on Debian Unstable (AMD64) from 2.4.0 to 3.0.0-2

> A minor display problem is that I had icons on the main dock which

> Under 3.0.0-2 the clock is rendered as an oval of size 64x48. (i.e.
