I guess I didn't make myself clear about this one. My panel indeed can be 
resiszed.

Oh, one other thing that I forgot to mention. Icons on the desktop, even 
though I can choose the size of the icons on the desktop. They always remain 
at 48 pixels. I like 32 pixels. Oh well

I just read the blog. The blog seems to indicate that the problem is with kde4 
itself. Not X drivers. It seems that kde4 simply made an oversight when 
programming "struts" in plasma and it would take some major reprogramming to 
get it to work. I hope that this will work properly in 4.1 because if it 
doesn't then what, by the time fedora 10 comes around I will be forced to 
work with a "crippled" KDE desktop or ugh Gnome. Both seem to be unsavory.

Seems to work as well as Konqueror is working these days in 3.5.9.
