It's about 12-15% on this laptop and maybe 20-22% on the netbook.

I would think that the geometry line is what's defining the size.  My laptop 
has 951,2,178,34 and the netbook has 716,6,216,33.  What strikes me is that 
third parameter.  I'd try backing up the plasma-appletsrc, killing plasma then 
editing that parameter to a larger number.  If it doesn't work as required you 
can simply replace the old file.

To me, that line suggests that it is locked.  I don't know whether 'unlock 
widgets' affects the tray or not.  Have you tried that?  OTOH, both my systems 
have it set to 1, so it's probably correct.

I'm casting around in the dark - sheer guesswork - but as long as you make 
backups first you should be able to recover if you hit a problem.
