The margin is always purely visual, so you can still blindly throw
your cursor into the corner.
BTW, in current Clearlooks we draw an additional shadow line around
the buttons which may _look_ like a margin, but it's not. We could
probably drop it for buttons on panels, but I doubt whether this would
be worth it (normal buttons "glued" to each other look rather messy
and unprofessional). If there are any good suggestions for alternative
button rendering on panels, we are always listening!
