The region would have to be well defined though, because nothing would
bother me more, that using the pointer to highlight some text from the
bottom of a window, and having my button bar popping up over the text.
PS: another feature which I like from the mac's was that if you threw
the pointer to the bottom left corner of the screen, that the
screensaver would startup right away - combine that with locking, it
would be a nice way to leave your workstation - but the pointer has to
be at +0-0 for the feature to start up. any takers?
