Applications Menu plugin clips panel icon.

[Alistair Buxton]

To reproduce:

    Select Adwaita theme in Appearance.
    Add Applications Menu widget to panel.
    Set it to use a circle icon.

Result:

    The top and bottom of the icon are clipped, regardless of how big you make the panel. It consistently removes 2-3 pixels from the top and bottom of the icon.

Screenshots attached, with a Whisker menu icon (which renders correctly) for comparison. Whisker menu is dark blue, Applications Menu is light blue.

Confirmed that this still affects the GTK3 panel in Xubuntu 18.10.

Also confirmed to still affect Xubuntu 19.04.

I can't confirm the bug with xfce4-panel 4.13.4 (self-built) on cosmic (18.10).
I added a screenshot that shows whiskermenu (on the left, dark blue) and the internal applications menu plugin (light blue, on the right) on a 20px tall panel with Adwaita. Both icons are equally un-clipped.

After some comments from Thaddäus I managed to reproduce the problem and pushed a fix to git master:
