           Summary: total lack of "mile high mouse targets"
           Product: Xfce
           Version: 4.2.0
          Platform: PC
        OS/Version: Linux
            Status: NEW
          Severity: enhancement
          Priority: Medium
         Component: general
        AssignedTo: xfce-bugs at xfce.org
        ReportedBy: hpklett at hotmail.com


The ONE thing that REALLY irks me about Xfce is that there are basically no
"mile high mouse targets".  Mile high mouse targets allow you to slam the mouse
against the edge of the screen and click whatever button is there, thereby
making the target object effectively infinite in height (this can be adapted to
"mile wide" as well).  If you've ever used a trackball, you should know what I'm
referring to.

But theres like a two pixel margin between the panel buttons and the edge,
which, correct me if I'm wrong, has no purpose.  M$ did this with the start
button, and it is said that they "Snatched defeat from the jaws of victory". 
Other good mile high mouse target candidates would be the exit button, the
scrollbar (right now I get a border grabber for these), and an option to remove
the little "grabby things" (sorry) at the ends of the panel.

This is one of the VERY few things that keep Xfce from being "just perfect".
