Thanks ... that was indeed the source of the problem. On clicking on "Screen edges" I see that there are 8 hot-spots around the screen, 7 of which were disabled. The top left-hand hot-spot was however set to show all the desktops when the mouse hovered over it. Disabling this has stopped that happening; though actually knowing what caused it would have been enough to stop it happening in practice. -- Timothy Murphy e-mail: gayleard /at/ eircom.net tel: +353-86-2336090, +353-1-2842366 s-mail: School of Mathematics, Trinity College Dublin -- fedora-list mailing list fedora-list@xxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe: https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-list Guidelines: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Communicate/MailingListGuidelines
