 When operating a typing-intensive application such as Speak
 or Terminal, it is not hard for someone's hand (palm) to get
 close enough to the touch pad to sense an unintentional "mouse"
 move.  It is not unusual for such events to be interpreted as
 screen-edge moves, which brings up the overlapping sugar control
 frames, and interferes with the application.

 Has the keyboard/touchpad combination been tested much on people
 who can touch-type, so they don't peck one key at a time?

 Can the sugar frame's behavior be configured to require not just
 mouse pointer proximity to the edge but an actual click?  Of have
 you some other idea about how to prevent unintentional sugar frame
 popups?
