There is the xmonadlog, and the window/appname. Both serve one purpose: Telling the user what is going on. The appmenu is in the same applet as the window/appname. If the user wants to access the appmenu, he hovers over the appname…
But because of the xmonadlog there is a large gap between left border and appmenu. Besides that so much text makes it hard to find the appmenu.
This issue could be adressed by merging the xmonadlog and appname/menu into one applet and hiding the log/appname completely when the appmenu is displayed.
