I was completely confusing corners of surfaces with corners of outputs,
sorry. He is talking about fixed locations on the screen that are
usually called "hot corners" and other terms.
I think however that "hot corners" like he is describing might be better
described as special invisible surfaces. They could be implemented by
clients as well as by the shell, and could be subject to stacking order.
It would also make it obvious that drags do not trigger the hot corner
effect, though it may be triggered after the mouse is released.
