No, see the discussion with Daniel about edge flipping.
What I want is when the mouse hits, say, the right boudary and thee are 
more viewports to the right, then after a short dwell time, the next 
viewport to the right becomes active and is displayed.  At the moment I 
need to go to the "workspace switcher" to select the viewport I want to 
be actively displayed.

The dwell time is important - I found years ago that X itself will 
handle a viewport on a larger virtual screen size, which was very nice, 
but without a dwell time even a momentary bumping of the border paged 
the screen and got really annoying.  I haven't been back there since to 
see if it is possible to set a dwell.  I should look at X again I 
suppose, as that viewport feature is really why I use sawfish anyway.
