We should avoid this screenshot:

Probably it shouldn't be possible to do that. More generally, it
probably shouldn't be easy to accidentally resize the panel when
trying to click a launcher or menu.

One way to approach this (I guess basically what Windows XP does) is
to have things "locked" by default and you have to unlock them. Or
just limit resizing the panel to the prefs dialog as it traditionally
has been.
