I suggest we move the menu button to the exactly left bottom corner for the default install.

After a fresh install of lxde, we could see the left bottom corner is the menu button. If we hover the mouse over the menu, the menu would highlight itself. So we know if we click it, the menu would open.

Sometimes, when we are in a hurry, and move the mouse very fast, we often find it hard to click it.

We would have to move it to the right a little.

The issue is, the menu is not at the exactly left bottom corner.

As you could see in the image, there are a few pixels to the left of the menu button

This is due to a space Plugin there. As stated in this file /etc/xdg/lxpanel/LXDE/panels/panel

    background=1
    backgroundfile=/usr/share/lxpanel/images/background.png
}

Plugin {
    type = space
    Config {
        Size=2
    }
}

Plugin {
    type = menu
    Config {
        image=/usr/share/lxde/images/lxde-icon.png
        system {
        }

I understand, we could manually remove it.

However, it would mean extra trouble for users. And it is not something too difficult to fix.
