[compiz] Insensitive screen edges

Hi,

You may have seen a thread about this issue on the forums, but I wanted
post a mail about it here to be sure that it gets noticed by you compiz
developers.

The problem is that compiz seems to make the screen edges insensitive to
clicks, meaning that e.g. a panel item isn't clickable when the pointer
is directly at the screen edge. This breaks Fitt's Law and should
therefore be fixed for usability reasons.

Here is the forum thread about this issue, in which somebody seems to
have already tracked down the cause of the problem:

I also reported a bug about it on bugzilla.freedesktop.org:
https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=14178

I hope this can be fixed. This would be a great usability enhancement.

Regards,
Denis
