I see. Judging other peoples use patterns as utterly pointless. You may wish to read the original justification again before outright saying it would be pointless, because as I outline, it would help in positioning the cursor next to the corner of a window (eg, to access the window decorations) that is otherwise hindered because the cursor flips over to the next screen, presenting a difficulty in hand-eye coordination. The xinerama window borders are enough of a physical border that the mouse should be able to be configured to have some stickiness in moving between them, just like it can be configured to have some stickiness in jumping virtual pages. I would not take issue with you calling it impossible (I can't judge that for myself), but pointless it is not. -- TimC To define recursion, we must first define recursion. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-bugs-dist-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
