Description dchan 2001-01-27 19:59:27 UTC
Package: Gnome Tasklist
Version: 1.1.3cvs (17-02-2000)
Severity: wishlist

The Tasklist should conform to Fitt's Law such that it should accept
click on the very edge of the screen to correspond to the task next to
the click. Fitt's Law says something along the lines of "the five most
important parts of the screen are at the four edges of the screen and
where the cursor is at the moment." The reasoning is that the four edges
of the screen have infinite depth such that when your cursor hits the
edge, and your mouse keeps going, it stays there. Therefore, they are in
fact the largest spaces on the screen. (This was fixed in the panel
itself, but there are little buffers of space in the Tasklist.
