The bottom right corner is an active corner in Gnome Shell -- therefore,
buttons in that corner in maximized applications are basically impossible
to click on, so I'd advise against any on-hover behavior.

I'd also prefer to have the clickable slider shown up-front, without having
to wait for a slider to appear.

Why not have what Astron suggested -- a slider on the bottom, where it is
right now?
I've updated the wiki
page<https://wiki.documentfoundation.org/Design/Whiteboards/Hidden_statusbar>accordingly.
