He tries to say that you shouldn't put buttons "almost" at the edge of
the screen but "exactly" at the edge of the screen. So that you can
move your mouse pointer way down and click. In KDE 1.1.x there is a 1
pixel border between the buttons in the panel and the edge of the
screen. So if you move your mouse all the way down and click, you click
on this 1 pixel border instead of clicking on the button. Without this
1 pixel border it would be easier to click on the button.
