(Byes. fvwm like 10+ years ago was doing the mouse to edge to flip to a new
(Bdesktop trick. i can tell you why they dont do it today. it's confusing to
(Bnew/novice users and amazingly confusing. sure it's great for power users. watch
(Byour grandma on a linux box accidentally flip to a virtual desktop just if her
(Bmouse was on the left. to her everything suddenly changed for no reason and she
(Bgoes "what the hell?" and is now completely confused as to whats going on. it
(Bcan be very useful - but imho it's a power user feature and thus pretty much
(B"skipped". virtual desktops alone are a power user feature already. getting
(Bpeople to understand that things exist that they cant see is tough going. :(
