Hot corners are not the same as having a button in the corner.  We  
already trigger the application menu by clicking on it.  This gives  
us four actions that can be triggered by throwing the mouse into the  
corner of a screen.  On OS X, I have the following set up:

1) Exposé this app.
2) Exposé all apps.
3) Lock screen.
4) Show desktop.

When the shelf exists, it would be a good replacement for the show  
desktop action.  Since we can have arbitrary scripts, I would like  
lock screen to also set an away state on chat applications, etc.   
Eventually, hopefully, we will have something like Exposé, but that's  
a little way off (as I recall, it requires a compositing manager, and  
composite support in the X server).
