I believe the corner is only 1 pixel by 1 pixel, similar to Compiz's hot edges.
Clicking the button is a separate issue though. If this poses a problem, I think
it do not think it would be much better on the right side,

Regarding the "Sharing Options" menu item, I have been thinking that it would be
a good idea to do away with it completely, since there is a "Share" tab in the

same widget
of such an approach, and I believe it would feel even
more cluttered and messed up than the previous approach of using tooltips.
