Xfce4 HotCorner Panel Plugin

Introduction

This Xfce4 panel implements screen hot corner actions.

This functionality was used historically by AfterDark (and workalikes) to invoke the screensaver by moving the mouse pointer to the designated screen corner.

The HotCorner panel plugin supports the following operations on the primary display:

• xfdashboard
• toggle desktop view (via libwnck)
• start screensaver (via "xset s activate")
• turn off monitor (via "xset dpms force off")
• run a custom command
