Maciej,

We have to deal with two things

- visual aspect when user is on a plasmoid like folderview and don't need to configure it. The configuration of a plasmoid is not the only thing user do with it.
- usability to configure the plasmoid

This two things are important.

About the visual aspect i think than the new applet handle is much better.
About the usablity, Aaron have done a lot of amelioration in the interaction with the user. There is no more lag and the user can catch the handle more easily than with the old one.

I think the idea to have the handle draw with 4 borders is not relevant because of visual aspect and i think than there is any usability advantage to have it like the old one because the border who doesn't contains icon ware too tiny to be catchable.

The only case than could be problematic is like you said when you not have strictly rectangular plasmoid so we have a space between the plasmoid and the handle who can make more difficult the reaching of the handle.

For the moment, the only case we have like this is with the clock applet, which is draggable by itself...
