What happened to the option to prevent the mouse-pointer from being able to reveal the launcher?
Isn't there supposed to be a setting for this in System Settings > Appearance > Behavior? Latest Beta is only showing Left Corner or Left Side options. Where the "None" setting? > From: shaneym...@gmail.com > To: nru...@hotmail.com > Subject: Thoughts on the top left corner?
