The spacer is available from the "cashew" on the panel resizer and 
options widget.  "Add spacer".

>From what you're describing, it may be that you need a spacer.  I never 
have enough room on my panels for long to have to worry about it, as I 
make them only the size I need.  Thus, I don't really need the spacers, 
tho I could try them again to see if they perhaps work a bit better in 
4.3.1 than they did in 4.3.0.  (I'm hoping for absolute positioning, 
overruling the otherwise greedy plasmoids that like way more free space 
around themselves than I like.)
