Bug description:
  the Application Indicators applet is wider than the regular systray.

  3 Indicators icons are slightly bigger than 4 tray icons, incl. the left part.
  See the screenshot. The two highlighted boxes are ~100 pixels wide.

  With more applications moving to the app indicator, it will result in
  less usable space in the panel, which in my case is already pretty
  full.
