Comment 7 for bug 603795

I am not much of technical guy....so I don't know about it...but you drop
this problem to one of the ubuntu mailing lists.

Also the default menu bar (Application, places and system) have stopped
resizing itself if appmenu is already on the panel. The panel becomes good
24px in size though in properties we can reduce the panel size to 17 or 19.
