The actual grabbable area in sound indicator slider is higher than the slider handle position.

[Tomasz Chrzczonowicz]

Binary package hint: indicator-sound

Steps to reproduce:

This is a problem regardless of theme, but is most pronounced and bothersome in Ambiance and Radiance:

1. Click the sound applet
2. Place the tip of the cursor on the lower *half* of the sound applet slider handle (in other themes, say, lower 1/3 or 1/4 part)
3. Click and try to drag the handle in some direction.

4. Now place the tip of the cursor above (not over) the slider handle.
5. Click and try to drag the handle in some direction.

What happens:

2. and 3.Grabbing doesn't work. The slider handle moves to the right and you feel out of control and don't know what just happened.

4. and 5. Grabbing works, even though the tip of the cursor is not on the handle.

That suggests that the actual grabbable area is higher than it's graphical representation.

What should happen:

If you click any part of the handle and start dragging, the slider should be draggable.
If you click outside of the handle and start dragging, the slider should not be draggable.
