[AuckLUG] Edge Resistance or Stickiness for Dual Screens

[Ravi Chemudugunta]

Not sure if this is a helpful suggestion due to possible differences in
setup; I always had my browser window or any window that i'd maximize on the
right most screen so that I could blindly hit the right edge of my screen
and select the scroll bar, you could possibly also do the same on the left
most screen if you changed the position of the vertical scroll bar to be on
the left side.

Also, I use the scroll wheel a lot so this isn't usually an issue, the only
things on a frame I like to be able to instantly hit are the close button
(just in case someone walks in while I'm looking at uh nsfw stuff)  ... so I
have them on the right most screen.  I am not sure if it can be changed to
easily, I know on synergy you can change the time you have to spend on the
edge before you are allowed to move to the other screen ...
