[patch] xftaskbar doesn't respect fitts' law

[Mike Roome]

currently, the taskbar has several pixels of "dead" space at the edge of
the screen, which is highly annoying, and a terrible waste of prime
screen real estate (see:
http://www.asktog.com/basics/firstPrinciples.html#fitts's%20law )

I've modified the code in xftaskbar.c to fix this problem, which causes
a slight visual difference (the taskbar is flat, rather than 3d, since i
removed the gtk_frame), and i probably missed a few things, since i'm
fairly new to c, and completely new to gtk, but it seems to work
flawlessly for me.

It might also be worth looking into modifying the panel in a similar
manner, if possible, but i haven't looked at the code for that yet to
see if it would be as simple as it was for the taskbar.

PS. as a sidenote, i've been working on a few xfwm4 themes, how would i
go about submitting them? just send to this list?
