gKrellm, xmms2, esperanza, width of panel for volume control

Hi
As I mentioned in another thread, my particular LXDE is sitting atop a Kubuntu variant.
I use XMMS2 as a music client through gKrellm(which is a "stack" of monitors" for the computer, mail, cpu useage, etc.).
And, for the last few months I've been using Esperanza as the client for displaying tracks etc.
Just as a note:
gKrellm was not in the Kubuntu repositories, but when I typed in XMMS2 it provided the normal list and the gKrellmXMMS2 clients, so I downloaded everything along with Esperanza and everything works fine.
Two comments:
a) the monitor display which appears "normal", I have a Viewsonic wide screen LCD, displays gKrellm as "more wide than usual". Otherwise everything is normal.
b) the volume control in the panel did not "just appear" in a section of the panel. It takes up about 5 inches of real estate on the right hand side, which is rather unusual to me, this may or may not be of note for developers.
EDIT< EDIT< EDIT, for those who read this before, I did not realize that by ticking the volume control box that it was "stretching" the panel, so unticked the panel is now normal.
Thanks for the great work!
