Bug Description

Wingpanel loads the indicators at the right side of the clock.

When too many indicators are loaded, the default behaviour of wingpanel is to make it larger, having it going outside of the screen estate.

here are 2 screenshots that explain the situation.

Maybe it is the default behavior, another proposal would be to move the clock on the left so to have more estate.
It will be equally ugly, but at least all the indicators will be available (included the user/logout one, that becomes inacccessible in these situations).

I just wanted to point out the issue, I leave the final word to the Elementary designers.
