The change introduced with https://bugzilla.xfce.org/show_bug.cgi?id=8944 makes
the plugin unreadable when rows are quite small (~30px).

Here is a screenshot of my panel
http://www.zimagez.com/zimage/screenshot-09062012-113802pm.php - it's hard to
tell from it if it's 4 or 7 GB of used ram from 10GB.

Also to make it "full" high again I had to switch to only one row layout and my
8 activator icons suddenly took half of the screen width - they took 4 times
more space then in two rows! and instead of having 8 icons I had to go with one
with menu which denies purpose of the small activators - being able to fast run
something, now I'm back on multi step process, first need to hit the small
arrow and then select proper actiator - compared to one step when all 8
actiators were shown at once.

I was reading the "plugins HIG" => http://wiki.xfce.org/dev/hig/panel-plugins
and I catched:

> plugins should set the small property (using xfce_panel_plugin_set_small()) only if they are intended to render on a single row, and not in deskbar mode

which conflicts with the initial statement:

> This sets the "small" property of the plugin when the panel is not in deskbar mode, so that it only uses one row as proposed by the panel plugins HIG.

in this comment: https://bugzilla.xfce.org/show_bug.cgi?id=8944#c0

Maybe it would be an option to add configuration allowing to select the size
manually.
