I have a very special and minor bug report ;-)

I have the taskbar at the top with the pager and the system tray on the right. 
For an application of mine, I use zenity, which allows you to have an icon in
the system tray with a baloon message. When you click on the icon, it disappears.

But when I have the pager next to the system tray, and the icon disappears, the
pager will move to the right and it will catch the same mouse click that was
used for the icon.  Therefore I will always change to the last desktop, even
though my only intent was to remove the icon with a single mouse click!!!

I hope I explained the behaviour in an understandable fashion. If not, tell me
and I will try again!

Yeah, it seems the pager reacts on button release. This is done to allow you to
drag windows around in the pager.

I'm not sure we can solve this problem. The easiest solution would be if the
zenity icon would vanisch on  button click (press and release), not on button
press only.

Ok, I'm afraid I don't see how we can solve this. Maybe when we add support for
reordering taskbar components. Im'm closing this as WONTFIX for now.
