It only works that way (and, therefore, appears to work correctly) when
you have it in the same panel as the TaskManager. I find that an
'overhead console' is quite convenient -- or it would be if it wasn't
filled with the SystemTray. My best guess is that they both have 100%
as the default size but the TaskManager has a higher priority.
Actually, the TaskManager only appears to have 100% as the default
width. The default height works correctly when it is in a vertical
panel. However (drifting OT) the digital clock does not work correctly
(4.2.0) in a vertical panel (the height expands to fill the available
space). :-( Are these really driven by common library functions?
