Hello. This is my first post here as a Shell user. I think the recent
design of the message tray is very intrusive. Even in Windows 8, I
admire their utilization of hot corners in a manner that is
non-intrusive to the work that you are doing. For example, top-right
hot corner triggers control icons in the side, when you mouse over the
icons, they get highlighted, but nothing gets activated until you
actually specify a mouse click. It does not disable your desktop! It
does not steal focus from your applications either. However, the
message tray in Gnome disables your entire desktop. Accidentally
bringing it up is common also, even with pressure sensitivity. And it
intrudes upon your work. In a desktop, it is hard to follow your mouse
and be extremely careful abut it's placement. The Activities corner is
okay since you don't really work near there. But you have to be
extremely careful with the mouse, because if you leave it for two
seconds to the bottom edge, it takes away app focus and disables your
desktop completely. This design is dysfunctional. You can't expect
your users to watch their mouse vigilantly every second. I suggest a
less intrusive design that does not disable your desktop or take away
focus at all, the early versions of Gnome Shell were MUCH better in
respect to the message tray behaviour. I would like to hear the
opinions of other users also, and if people agree, maybe a bug could
be filed by someone. Thanks.

A better workaround the the one I PMed you with is running
'Main.messageTray._checkTrayDwell = function() {}' in Looking Glass.
