Have settled for about 500ms for the corners. I found warm edges too  
obtrusive even with a max delay, specifically scroll bar interaction  
was the main false activation. I could see me enabling specific warm  
edges (top being most useful).

OT: Also trying to keep in the back of my mind a possible future UI  
metaphor where the whole input may be touch screen based, but as a  
well known tech put it recently, most existing UI's with a touch input  
layer added are like lipstick on a pig. It'll need to be an extensive  
redesign at that stage (sorry Eben). I guess Apple with their UI fork  
have more than a clue for us here.
