Description Bearcat M. Sandor 2002-12-13 04:02:07 UTC 
Hello,

I know you are trying to keep Metacity as simple as possible, but I'd argue
for the ability to switch desktops by moving to the edge of the screem.

Today, I was on screen #2 and had some work open on screen #1. My keyboard
went out.  Had I not saved it a few moments earlier I would have lost all
work on screen, because the cntrl-alt-rightarrow was unavailable to me.

Regards,

Bearcat

I don't think designing for hardware breakage is worthwhile.
(Your hard drive could also just blow up.)
