I want the launcher to show when I move the cursor to the top-left corner instead of the left edge because the way it is it tends to show when I don't want it to. How can I do that_

For 11.10 and earlier

To adjust the reveal mode of the Launcher, you can use compizconfig-settings-manager . You can install CCSM by running the following command in a terminal:

sudo apt-get install compizconfig-settings-manager

What are some of the issues with CCSM and why would I want to avoid it?

After installing CCSM, open it and click on 'Ubuntu Unity Plugin'.

Click on the option and click on the option for 'Reveal mode'. There, you can choose which part of the screen should trigger the launcher.

For 12.04

There is a much easier way to change the reveal mode of the launcher in 12.04.

To do that, you can right click on the desktop and click 'Change Desktop Background' option.

After that, in the 'User Interface' application that appears, move to 'Behaviour' tab. There, you can change the 'Reveal spot' of the launcher.
