Re: Gala Workspace Animation

 

If I may, here's how things should go:

   1. You call up the Workspace Switcher (is there a hot corner or
   something?). The screen slides *up*.
   2. You switch to the workspace on the right. The screen slides *left*.
   3. You move/click the mouse somewhere outside the switcher area,
   dismissing the switcher. The screen slides *down*.

Ergo, it should be broken up into gentle vertical and horizontal movements,
rather than sudden diagonal movements.
