GNOME Bugzilla – Bug 89070
Feature: Edge flipping preference in gconf
Last modified: 2004-12-22 21:47:04 UTC
I haven't found a preference anywhere to enable edge-flipping in Metacity. If this code to support edge-flipping already exists, it would be nice to have this feature "exposed" on gconf. If it doesn't yet exist, it would be nice. :) In case there's any confusion, "edge flipping" is the behavior that enables switching desktops by moving your cursor to the edge of the screen. If the pointer is "warped" to the opposite edge of the screen when the flip occurs, this creates the illusion of pushing the mouse through the edge of the screen. This is very nice as it creates the illusion of one large, seamless desktop.
In a nutshell, Havoc's position is 'no edge flipping will be in metacity.' Sorry about that. *** This bug has been marked as a duplicate of 82917 ***
