What's your point?

P.S. - Using GNOME 2.2, my panel is "X Small" which measures (by counting
       in xmag) 24px high on this 800x600px screen. By metric ruler, it's
       6mm high on 211mm by 159mm. (±0.5mm for those lengths)
       I'm happy with this.

P.P.S. - Shouldn't "X Small" have been "Extra Small"?
