IMHO, that would be a nice improvement. I quite often fail to access the icon
because I press just outside the pixmap. I am sure I am not the only one. I
believe this could be solved by a combination of a shaped window (the icon
image)  and an invisible (InputOnly) X-window. The invisible window can then
catch the X-events which the shaped window misses.
