Screenshot showing system tray in a vertical panel

When the System Tray widget is placed in a vertical panel, the "Show Hidden Icons" button always appears all by itself of its own row, thus wasting vertical space in the panel.  (See attached screenshot.)  Please change how this button is treated for the purposes of layout: it would be better if it were treated is a normal application icon, except that it should always appear last in the list.  This way, it can appear to the left of the application icons (if there is space on the row) rather than below them in a row by itself.

Sorry, I meant to write here "to the right of the application icons".

Yeah, not a bad idea.
