I looked into this but wasn't able to find a satisfying solution. 
Basically you would like to redirect mouse clicks from the edge of the 
panel to the buttons more inside the panel. You would also have to 
redirect mouse moves so that "mouse-over" effects would show when you 
are near the edge as well. I couldn't figure out how to do that in an 
nice way.
