spacing between indicators should be 5 pixels

Spacing in -2D and Unity should be the same. I think we could do with
one extra pixel in the spacing between indicators on Unity and -2D could
follow suit.

I guess this bug can be counted as a bitesize and also if anyone is getting a bite of it this branch https://code.launchpad.net/~canonical-dx-team/unity/unity.fix-684114/+merge/46901 would make things easier for you.

For unity-2d currently I think its 6px distance it might need to be made 4px to match unity.

Personally speaking, I think it would be better to maintain the 6px spacing across the two distributions. I don't know why it was halved for Unity, but it's really a bit of a usability issue.

6px seemed gappy, we tightened it up too much and can expand now by a
small amount to assess that.

anyone interested in fixing please see comment#2 for help

It would be cool see it fixed in unity-2d as well, currently icons look so compressed into each other.
