The updated applet works fine, I haven't noticed any regressions.
The padding is much better, but I'd still argue that another couple of pixels could be removed from the right-hand side of the applet, just to avoid the same Fitts Law problems that the Windows 95 Start button had [1]. In fact, would it be possible to set the applet to raise/light-up on mouse-over, like the clock applet? This would solve the problem completely, IMO.
