Why the taskbar(KDE 4) is resetted every time?

Hi, guys. In my KDE4, the taskbar was reseted so I have to resize it every time. Anyone knows this?

Check the image, see the taskbar? The size of it is always not fill the width of the screen.

that link you have there is requiring a login; you should upload it to imageshack or something.

Thanks, theringmaster. I updated my post and now the image is in imageshack.

I remembered one thing maybe caused this issue: I configured XDMCP on my Arch and used a client login into it. The client laptop has a 1024x768 resolution. Now seems that the taskbar always has a 1024 width, does this cause this issue? How to fix this? My Arch desktop has a 1152x864 resolution so the width of taskbar should be 1152.

set up the panel as you like, then execute kquitapp plasma so that plasma quits as it should, then ctrl+alt+backspace and login again

If it ain't broke, broke it then fix it.

Actually, you don't even need to logout and log in if you do

kquitapp plasma & plasma

In any case, however, your kde does not quit cleanly and therefore does not save the plasma settings. If the problem is plasma (or some plasma widget), you should get a backtrace in konsole when issuing the above command. If not, something else screws with kde's shutdown.
