Regarding the Launcher getting out of the way:
I have resorted to completely turning off edge-reveal, which means I can't access the Launcher with mouse alone. I changed the F1 key to show the Launcher when pressed (default is Ctrl+F1 if memory serves me). So if I want to use the Launcher I HAVE to either press F1 or Super in order to reveal it. I just got sick of the Launcher always revealing when I didn't want it to. I found that I often (unconsciously) place my cursor along the left edge of the screen to get it out of the way when reading stuff on the screen. > From: gespertino@xxxxxxxxx > Date: Mon, 7 Nov 2011 19:54:09 -0300 > To: isantop@xxxxxxxxx > CC: ayatana@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx > Subject: Re: [Ayatana] Fwd: Serious issues > > Last week I conducted a workshop on libre graphics tools in an > important meeting here in Argentina.
