I agree. This is a good idea. One thing would be this: if the
menus/launchers were clickable at the edge, one would assume that they'd
look it. This would look strange. I'm not sure how this would be fixed.

the other thing is, I use the pinning effect on that edge (I think it's
actually 2 pxls) to get the panel right click menu (I use a corner panel
with no arrows and a 0pxl padding between things.
