If you have your panel configured not to show hide buttons and to expand to fill
the edge of the screen you don't have anywhere to click. If you leave hide
buttons there then the user can suddenly make their panel 'vanish' and be very
very confused..

I personally would like to see a common context menu thing .. I'm pretty sure
this existed in gnome 1.4. Would take a lot of work though..
