GNOME Bugzilla – Bug 66422
Edges taken over for flipping regardless of viewport layout
Last modified: 2009-08-16 15:13:28 UTC
Point form: - Edge flipping takes over a pixel or so space at the edge of the screen, interrupting Fitt's Law love for stuff on the edges. - Many people use horizontal workspaces/viewports: [ 1 ][ 2 ][ 3 ][ 4 ] - The most important two areas for Fitt's love in this set up are the top and bottom of the screen (standard panels live here). - Sawfish takes over *every* edge, regardless of the viewport layout being horizontal only. - If Sawfish only took over the edges required for edge flipping, we'd have far more opportunity for Fitt's Law infinite edges for panels and other items. Thanks!

someone sent a patched copy of flippers.c to the list supporting this feature. It should probably be merged
but since edge-flipping isn't enableable from the UI anymore, this is non-urgent
