If I switch desktops, for about a second a centered window pops up,
showing the movement (with large blue arrows) and the target desktop
within a symbolic image of all virtual desktops.  Since I regularly
use desktop switching for blinking comparison of images of font
renderings (I'm a FreeType developer), this centered windows prevents
comparison of the covered screen portion.  Besides this, it drives me
really crazy.

Even then I would be glad to know how this applet is called, and how I
can control this.
