Description William Jon McCann 2009-05-18 23:48:27 UTC 
Similar to bug #565697.  We should make it possible to activate status icons by throwing the mouse at the top of the screen.  Opening a new bug here since this is partly a panel.js problem.

The container for the status icons has both a padding and a border that we'd need to deal with...

This removes the border and padding and aligns the box to the top.  Perhaps we could push the padding down into the active area of the icon since it does look a bit nicer with it.

Ok, hopefully no objections to this so I pushed it after resyncing with master.
