This way lies madness! But a 20x20 should work OK as the small one for
Kde. (Doing it with a transparent background should/might help, but
don't do it on my account: I'm happy with the wheel-mouse). I'm still
trying to figure out how Kde works on this level: what I observe is that
when the taskbar is re-sized, some icons actually change (there are
mini, normal and large versions of several, if not all), while user
selected ones just try to re-size (big ones will shrink, small ones will
not grow). (There must be some way of registering the damn things, but
the documentation -- at least for 1.1.2 -- lurches all over the place.)
