Comment 15 for bug 382393

It would be nice, if the flag icon size is configurable via gconf or gtkrc. Anyway a fast workaround is a small change in the applet code, delimiting it to only 75% of the available height. (maybe that would be even better solved as a setting in gconf, named "zoom" or "scale")
