Description of problem:
The keyboard-indicator applet takes all the available space in the gnome panel (panel height). This is even more apparent in the case the user has the settinhs showFlags in gconf turned on. The applet should strive for a more unified look, in order to fit in with the other applets

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
gnome-applets-2.24.1-1.fc10.x86_64

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Download a country flag for your layout (svg or png from Wikipedia will work, size doesn't matter) and place under ~/.icons/flags/<2-char-iso-code>.png
2. Turn on flags: `gconftool-2 -t bool -s /desktop/gnome/peripherals/keyboard/indicator/showFlags true`
3. Select the "Keyboard Indicator" from the available panel applet list and add to panel if not already on.

Actual results:
The flag icon is shown on the panel, and it takes all of the panel's height. The icon width is scaled accordingly to its height. The applet "feels" much bulkier than the other applets.

Expected results:
A more consistent look&feel, some space on top and bottom of the applet.
