Bug Description

With the window picker applet aligned to the right edge of a panel, the close button cannot be clicked from that corner as a regular maximised window would, i.e. there is a small border between the edge of the applet and the screen/panel edge/corner. Taking advantage of Fitt's Law allows closing windows quickly.

The close button needs to actually be its own button widget, like the others in the applet, which do obey Fitt's Law.

I just got a trackball. Said device has turned this bug from a minor annoyance into a severe usability issue, for me.
