I *am* a heavy user of screen edges with full-screen VMs and with KRDC, so a default "on" would be a regression for me.  I'm using one corner ==> present desktops in 4.9 as I haven't rebased my left/right solution from 4.8.

AS I said before, I truly believe that this default will strongly depend on how we decide the user should use our desktop. This is something where will be very hard to make everybody happy.

Even if we allow all developers to decide whether to inhibit or not screen edges, we will end up with one "Disable disabling screen edges" in each app users complain to.
