Yeah, I think Mark's decided to make sure that in future, non-edge
panels at least a gripper bar now.  With edge panels the problem is
presumably still apparent, but less so because you can shuffle things
around on docked panels a bit to make some space.

BTW, there's another way to bring up the panel menu even if there's no
space or hide buttons: give focus to anything on the panel, then press
Ctrl+F10.

Cheeri,
Calum.
