[Ayatana] Lack of harmony between panel applets



Hello everyone,

New panel applets were introduced to the newer versions of Ubuntu. They improved the experience, because of their features, but they also created some inconsistencies in the GNOME Panel. If I remember correctly, it used to be that only the Menu Bar had associated elements (Applications, Places, and System buttons). With the new Indicator Applet and Indicator Applet Session, some icons on the right end of the top panel behave differently. 

There is now a lack of harmony, which I described here http://img340.imageshack.us/img340/9033/ayatanapanelissue.png . To fix this issue, we can change the way things are rendered, change their positioning, tweak how they behave, etc.

What are your thoughts?
