Bug 435739

SUMMARY
In the presence of widgets with variable dimensions on both sides of the panel, it seems impossible to fix the position of a third widget exactly in the center: when one of the two widgets on the sides changes size, the widget in the center moves.

STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. add a new empty panel (in my case in the top border), add 2 widget of variable dimension, (like Global Menu, active window control, window app menu, or window buttons). In my case I have "Global menù" on the left corner and "window button" on the right (about window button, from the widget settings I have set it to disappear when the window is not maximized).

2. insert a third widget, in the center (in my case Digital clock)

3. add 2 spacer, one on each side: one to the left of the clock, and one to the right.
if the spacers are flexible in size, we notice that when one of the widgets at the edges changes size (changing window in the case of the global menu or maximizing a window in the case of Window Button), the clock moves a little.
if I set one of the two spacers to a fixed size or both to a fixed size I get worse results.

OBSERVED RESULT
The widget placed in the center moves with the change in size of the widgets at the edges, and it is not always centered in the center of the panel.

EXPECTED RESULT
The widget placed in the center remains fixed and exactly centered even if the size of the widgets at the edges changes.
