tasks in taskbar applet are tiny

[Darryl Rees <rees netnam vn>]

My taskbar, and the tasks in it, remain tiny (after logging into gnome) 
until I go into prefs and change the minimum size (to anything, smaller 
or larger). I didn't see mention of this in bugzilla, so I'm curious if 
this is something to do with my setup. The problem has persisted through 
several gnome builds (I build from head).

Anyone else see this or is it just me?

Cheers,
Long.
