[PATCH] applet handle side selection

[Aaron J. Seigo]

hi all..

the new applet handle code has a few issues imho:

* the handle is really, really small for larger widgets

* it doesn't always pick which side to appear on very well

attached is a patch that:

* makes the handle the size of the widget if the widget is taller than the 
handle

* shows the handle on the the side of the applet the mouse enters on, unless 
that would end up putting the handle off screen; if both sides would be off 
scren, we try and pick the one that is least worst (most on screen)

what this patch does not do:

* put the close button at the bottom of the handle

* recalculate where the rect should be in the case we rehover quickly and the 
applet handle gets re-used

* fix the "handle disappears if you hover the applet, move to the handle, move 
back to the applet, move to handle" bug.

i'll work on those things if this patch works for people.

i'd like to ask that as many of you as possible apply this patch, test it out 
and let me know what you think.
