switching desktops with mouse.. (possible bug)

[Anto C]

Oliver, :)

Ah, i see.

I find it usefull now., i have found a way to use it :)
I had the problem of resizing the window of <whatever app i worked on> that 
was maximized when reeching for the scrollbar, this is/was *really* annoying 
in fluxbox and enlightenment aswell, now i just maximeze the window a litle 
bit more so the edge goes outside the margins and i cant resize it by 
misstake :)
(but cant switch desktops either, but its no big deal sence i got the pager..)

Cheers
Anto
