Hi *,
first of all this is the first time I write here so, please, if there is
a better place or if I am out of topic just let me know. Second, after a
couple of weeks using Gnome Shell let me say that it is very good. It
has some rough edges, but being a dot-O release that's something one
should expect.
Anyway, my question has to do with using 2 monitors (that, especially in
the case of a laptop + external monitors, can be of different size). The
usability problem I see is that the lower right corner, used to popup
notifications, isn't a corner anymore and hitting the correct region
with the mouse is quite difficult (almost impossible unless you have
pixel-perfect control). I know that you can hit Super and go to overview
but the change of bahaviour depending on the number of connected
monitors is definitely bad.
A sinple solution I see is to just make the enire lower border and
corners a sensible area for the notifications popup. (An even better
solution would be to let the user configure which corners and side to
associate with actions, for example i really hate the activities popping
up when I overshoot the maximized window "File" menu: I'll just disable
that behaviour because I always use Super for that, but that's
digressing, sorry. :D)
