Compiz's default top-right hotspot is extremely annoying!

[Alexander Jones]

Binary package hint: compiz

With "Desktop Effects" enabled, moving the mouse to the top-right of my screen so that I can hit the honking great "turn off" button to log out/whatever causes an Apple Exposé like thing to happen. This isn't very good. The top-right cannot be for both the off button, and this hotspot, as I am frequently triggering it accidentally.

I suggest disabling this mouse hotspot for now.

The 'hot spot' for this feature is off screen, and not the same location as the (default) logout button

[Travis Watkins (amaranth)]

The logout button is there because of Fitts' law. The screen corners are easiest to hit because they have infinite height and depth (you can't go off the screen). Having something else take over the actual corner destroys the whole point of having the button there.
