Relevant comment by Stefanos A to Ayatana discussion list:
"I would like to bring to your attention a design issue with the new unity buttons for maximized windows. The issue is that the buttons do not touch the edges of the screen, which cause two different problems:
1. They are inconsistent with the indicators on the other side of the top panel, which *do* extend to the edge of the screen.
2. They make closing windows quite difficult. If the X button extended all the way to the cornern, we'd be able to through the mouse to the corner and click. Right now, we have to move the mouse to the corner and move it again to target the button. This is especially difficult on smaller touchpads, like the one on my dm1z, where I consistently have to try two or three times to hit the button.
Since closing windows is one of the most common actions I tend to perform, I'd love to see this fixed."
