Re: panel resize?

Sorry, but panel resizing should be as in XP.
You can resize it comfortably as you want with the mouse.
Very good usability.

Open a dialog for this is annoying.

It's strange that KDE 4 permitts mouse in several tasks.
You can't even drop a file on the trash can.

Aaron Seigo seems to be very keen on "passive configuration", where dialogs are not used but where the item one wishes to configure is directly manipulated by the user: the car analogy would be grabbing your seat and physically adjusting it to suit your height directly rather than typing in commands on your in-dashboard carputer ;) This being so, I would not be at all surprised to see this implemented.

"You can't even drop a file on the trash can."

Considering how new the trash can (and, indeed, the whole of Plasma) is, this does not surprise me in the slightest. I imagine it will be fixed, in time.
