Done.

I was just going to commit this patch when I realized that this will
cause a very unpleasant issue.

With a centered button all values from 0 to buttonsize/2 percent and
100-buttonsize/2 to 100 percent will end up in the same drawn button
position, or - to put it another way - dragging the button to the edges
will result in value changes but no button movement (for the width of
buttonsize/2).

So, in weighing up the pros and cons of a "drifting" mouse pointer with
a definite (and different) position for all possible values and a centered
one that allows value changes without changing its position, I'm clearly
going for the "drifting" one.
