Sure, not everybody has touch screens, mouse wheels or touchpads with gestures, but...
- AFAIK the trigger area for the message tray is 1 pixel high. Thus left and middle click on scroll bar should work ok as long as the user doesn't slam into the very bottom. - trouble seems to mostly arise when you have no status bar in the maximized window, because that's when your arrow button falls in the very corner. By default editors such as gedit or libreoffice writer (where the functionality of 1-line-height scrolling has more sense) actually do show a status bar, or in the case of libreoffice writer even have custom navigation widgets in that corner, above the status bar. - Also, it's not like you can't reach the arrow button, if you really need it... you just need a more careful positioning to use it. That's the common case for users of Windows (where you have the task bar/ notification area) and Mac users (maximized windows aren't even a common case, and the dock by default takes up quite a lot of bottom screen space). Do Linux applications really rely that much on that bottom right corner in a substantially different way, that it must be slam-friendly when maximized? - When you _really, really_ don't want any chrome to show, ever, I think the correct behaviour would actually be to encourage fullscreen: tap F11, work as you want without seeing anything of the shell unless you willingly press the super key for overview or exit the fullscreen mode. I agree that the current jack-in.the-box behaviour of the message tray is sometimes obnoxious. It's just that moving the hot corner to the left doesn't solve the fundamental problem as soon as all four corners have a function, which is something to hope for IMO.
