This, please. There should be some form of visual indication of a possible action. Trying to find what one can do via various 'hidden' hot corners and/or mode keys is difficult.
Additionally, I use a multi-machine setup with synergy, so stuff like hot corners actually break my setup. Fling the mouse to the corner (edge of screen) and it goes to another screen.
Discoverability, please. Hot corners and/or alt-keys only as a clearly labeled shortcut to a menu item or other visible action.

Synergy doesn't pay attention to pointer barriers?

You can configure synergy to ignore spaces at the corners, but it is a bit of a pain.
Also there is a bad problem that happens when certain types of windows are maximed.. it will block synergy from drifting over. I had this issue with Gnome-terminal. I don't know if it is still a issue however. It has been a while since I last tried it.

Well, the expectation is that multiple monitor setups will pay attention to the pointer barriers that shell sets up - it's very easy to deliberately hit the overview hotspot even if there's a monitor to the left of it. The questions are (a) does shell set those up if it thinks it's on a single monitor setup, and (b) does synergy pay attention to them...
