** Description changed: - _ + I've tried to include some screenshots here, to illustrate my point. + + + Pointer displacement: + First I click on the network indicator in #1, then I end up in #2.

Opinion: I would definitely be in favor of the indicator menus only taking as much vertical screen space as they require - like traditional drop-down menus. Or, indeed, Gnome 3's indicators.
