[panel] Unintentional swipes can close Panel (need threshold)

[Andrea Cimitan]

Sometimes, users can trigger swipes, closing the Panel, while trying to click/press buttons.
Adding a threshold on swipes when it detects a clickable item underneath might work well!

[Tim Peeters (tpeeters)]

To clarify: we need a threshold so that an unintentional movement of 1 pixel down is not detected as a swipe and does not close a bottom-aligned toolbar.

[Tim Peeters (tpeeters)]

for implementation, have a look at the shell's directionalDrag component http://bazaar.launchpad.net/~unity-team/unity8/trunk/view/head:/Components/DragHandle.qml
