Thanks for your input -- just to comment on it, I have quite a bit of space between the klipper icon and the upper left corner of the screen -- I mean like about 4" (on my 32" diagonal monitor (TV)) -- I just haven't trained myself to be more precise with my mouse movements. Thanks to Brad Rogers, I have disabled the "feature".
