At least for me, the panel ends up being more of an issue than other places we use scrolling for non-text (like in tabs). The panel is a natural "resting" place for one's mouse. Also, I've found that I often use the lower-right-hand corner of the trackpad as a starting place to scroll.
The panel is the *ONLY* place I ever accidentially scroll using my laptop. One (somewhat) odd thing: on a trackpad, the most natural motion to switch windows would be scrolling along the *bottom* of the trackpad, left to right or right to left. I imagine that's a bit more complicated though. -- Offer option to disable scroll wheel on task list https://launchpad.net/malone/bugs/39328 -- desktop-bugs mailing list desktop-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/desktop-bugs
