I'm against this personally (false clicks when switching windows, etc).
I really don't want to see it happen.

I'm 100% for this.  I hate that you have to click the text or icon, and that
if you miss slightly nothing happens.  I'd love to see the whole area
clickable.  This frustrates me personally.  I'd love to see this committed.

Agree 100% but still thing the menu icons are should all be clickable.

Definately.
