This is an acknowledged bug in libwnck with many duplicates. It takes so long because the Gnome folks are pondering how to fix it The Right Way(TM). Though I personally think that the patch should be dead simple (set a fixed button size, possibly depending on screen resolution). Somewhere there even is a patched libwnck .deb for Edgy that has this annoyance fixed.

Does anyone know if this release fixes the annoying taskbar buttons changing their widths when the title bar text of windows changes?
e.g. if i have 2 apps open Firefox and gaim and then in firefox i open a page with a long <title></title> attribue then the taskbar button resizes and becomes longer... then again if i open a new tab it is smaller - I find this behaviour a but annoying, I run Fedora 7 Test2 and it still had this bug. Is it fixed in this release?
