	IMHO, it's simply a way to increase usability of desktop. One thing
that's annoying for me in gnome is that I have no way to do a button
greater than it is, in a small panel. I would like to have a way to
increase the "clickable" area of some frequently used buttons. The
solution in Windows word is adding a label to the right (Start menu). In
Menu Panel it's addressed in this way (Apps and action menus have a
label which increase the clickable area).

	It's annoying that a button which is so frequently used like the foot
get so few space in a small panel, and there is no chance to fix it.

	My idea would be to let the user add a visible label to every launcher.
In a default configuration, only Apps icon would have this enabled.
