Yeah, I thought that might be. I think a blog post or something
clarifying this, and what is the real goal would be nice to have. I also
think naming the hot corner 'activities' may be a bit misleading.

Yeah, that one is obviously a fixable bug, I should have kept my
argument to the other side, which is the one that really matters: a way
to focus the overview on one workspace would improve my life
considerably, since I organize them per-task. If I have any other way of
achieving this kind of task-locality, I'll be happy to go there.

Thanks!
