           Summary: System tray icons should be closer to panel outer edge
           Product: kde
           Version: unspecified
          Platform: Ubuntu Packages
        OS/Version: Linux
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: wishlist
          Priority: NOR
         Component: general
        AssignedTo: unassigned-bugs kde org
        ReportedBy: to.roma.from.kdebug qwertty com


Version:            (using KDE 3.5.8)
Installed from:    Ubuntu Packages
OS:                Linux

I have my Main Panel located vertically along the left edge of my screen (with the taskbar at the bottom). Most panel buttons are clickable when the cursor is on the leftmost pixels, but that is not the case with system tray icons.

What I want is to be able to press the mouse against the left edge of the screen and click there and have the icon respond. Currently I have to position the mouse in both dimensions to target an icon.

Screen edges and corners are very important usability-wise, please take care that all controls located there be usable from the outermost pixels. This is already true for almost everything; the exceptions are scrollbars and system tray icons (at least on vertical panels).
