Comment(by Eben):

 One thing we want to implement (though I can't seem to find a ticket for
 this yet) is the hiding of the cursor while typing. If we do this, it
 seems we could add additional logic to ignore input events from the
 touchpad as long as typing continued.  Obviously the interval within which
 we would need to return to accepting input events after a given key stroke
 would have to be quite small, but it may still improve matters.

 Our other intent for the Frame is to add a slider in the control panel
 which will allow one to configure a short delay on the corner activation.
 Even a small (.25s?) delay should go a long way to preventing accidental
 invocation when moving toward an element near the edge of the screen, or
 even when the touchpad is accidentally bumped.

 I expect that one extreme of this slider will represent no delay (which is
 how things stand now, and may remain the default, for discoverability),
 and the other will completely turn off corner activation.  The latter,
 however, will definitely not be the default, since I think that
 discoverability is important here, and also that the idea of the corners
 strengthens the metaphor of the frame as a persistently available
 interface just beyond the edge of the screen.

 We have a completely revised intent for the Frame, which should completely
 removed the aforementioned problems with duplicate activities. More
 details about this will be released soon.
