[5.8 pre staging] "sticky edge" option does nothing visible

[Sebastien Bacher]

Using r2142 turning on "sticky edge" (ie "launcher capture mouse" in cssm) doesn't have any impact on the unity behaviour...

from design:

2012-03-20 13:56:32 JohnLea greyback, didrocks; if sticky edges are turned off, *all* sticky edges should be turned off. This is *different* from the push to reveal, so for example, with sticky
edges is switched 'off' and push to reveal is switched 'on', the pointer will still be held on the launcher edge so that the user can reveal the launcher. "Sticky edges" only refers to all the
sticky edge
behaviour that is *not* related to the launcher. This is all sp
2012-03-20 13:56:32 JohnLea ecified in some detail in the following spec https://docs.google.com/a/canonical.com/document/d/1b3CwE3Wemr347fTxNcu7ixEQBK4YD8JF2pyv5pxiY0U/edit

Additional note on 3d: currently if you set sticky edge to "no" and put your hidden launcher on the right, you can't reveal it. This is what needs to be fixed.

Note that when bug #931384 is fixed, this option will also turn off the top and bottom sticky edges.

Sticky edge need to be separated from launcher reveal resistance
