            Bug ID: 15480
           Summary: Very little area for opening context menu
    Classification: Xfce Core
           Product: Xfce4-panel
           Version: 4.13.5
          Hardware: All
                OS: All
            Status: NEW
          Severity: normal
          Priority: Medium
         Component: Notification Area
          Assignee: xfce-bugs at xfce.org
          Reporter: scootergrisen at gmail.com
  Target Milestone: Panel 4.14

If i want to open the properties dialog for other plugins on the panel i can
right click the icon and select properties.
Same if i want to move or delete.

But for the notification area this seems to be rather hard if you dont know
exactly where to click.
It seems i have the choice of clicking at the border around the icons and
between the icons (1 pixel area).
That might not be hard if you just have to move the cursor to the very edge of
the screen.
But maybe something better/logical could be made.

I can right click the panel or any other plugin and select panel>panel
preferences... select items tab and double click notification area in the list
but that is not so quick/smart and not logical that i should click plugin A to
make changes to plugin B.

Now if i hide some known programs in the list in properties dialog i see an
arrow to the right which gives a nice area to right click on and show the menu.

So perhaps the solution can be to show the area with the arrow always or
something like that.
Maybe someone have a good idea.
