Comment 5 for bug 147230

I understand how it can be confusing. But I was shocked to hear that at Dave Richard's talk during the GNOME Usability hackfest how users stopped maximizing windows because they wanted to leave a little area of the desktop available for switching desktops using the scroll wheel. Now, that's fail on more than one level, but I think that it does show that "normal users" may enjoy the feature in some cases.

Perhaps it should be disabled by default, but elevated to one of the settings in the simpler compiz configuration tool. In fact (and perhaps I should open another papercut) all of the key commands for things like Expo should be displayed in that tool so that they're atleast discoverable in some way, however obscure.
