I installed the latest opensuse and I am using the gnome 3 GUI. I like it a lot except one thing. I do not know what to call it, it is when you move your mouse to the upper left corner and a sort of window pops up with all of the applications. how do I make it stop. I want to put my mouse there and have it do nothing. If i wanted it to do something I would click on activities or press the Tux-key. Other than that it is better than Ubuntu’s unity.

Using firefox, go to http://extensions.gnome.org - as I recall, there’s
an extension there that disables the hot corner.

Gday mate. First, this thread should not have been put in the virtualization forum.
Here’s a hack i’ve never used but found it for you.
If you are like me you will find that accidentally hovering over the Activities button in the top left corner will bring up the dash board, and it gets really annoying especially when browsing with Google Chrome and you move the mouse a bit too far to minimize or click back, and it pops out… Just annoying to me. Thought others might find this useful:
open a terminal:
-
su
-
mousepad /usr/share/gnome-shell/js/ui/panel.js
(or subsitute mousepad for your preferred editor e.g. vim, gedit, nano, etc) -
Scroll down to these lines:
this.actor = new Clutter.Group({ width: 3,
height: 3,
reactive: true });
this._corner = new Clutter.Rectangle({ width: 1,
height: 1,
opacity: 0,
reactive: true });
- Change the line that says reactive on both from true to false so that it looks like:
this.actor = new Clutter.Group({ width: 3,
height: 3,
reactive: false });
this._corner = new Clutter.Rectangle({ width: 1,
height: 1,
opacity: 0,
reactive: false });
-
Save the file and then Logout of Gnome.
-
Log back in and enjoy the disabled hotcorner!
