Personally, I dislike hot corners. I always trip them by accident, which
seems like more of a problem than a solution. Given that corners are 4 of
the 5 easiest places on the screen to mouse-over, there should be some
guard to prevent against accidental tripping, like requiring a click or
something. That's my opinion, at least.
