Yes, having this as an option sounds good to me, default leave it as is but allow users to be able to move it to the right if they want through gnome tweak tool.

Cheers,

I also had the same experience with the Hot Corner, usually upon trying to reach the Close Button on a Window.

Usually you would just throw the Mouse to the upper-left Corner and move down a bit to get to the Close Button, so i figured maybe a little delay for the activation could solve those Problems without having to mess with the UI itself.

It could be made available as a variable value to hook on with Applications like Gnome Shell Tweak Tool ( i believe it's called something like this) cause if your Close Buttons live on the left side you already tweaked the Shell and thus would also be experienced enough to figure out the Setting for the Activation Delay. For "Average Users" the Setting would remain unchangeable and all Settings would stay just the way they are.

    I also don't like the hotspot in the upper left (I'm always
    hitting it when switching Chrome tabs, and I also moved my
    close/min/max to the left).  If I had a choice, I'd move it to the
    bottom-left.  I tried using this extension to move it to the
    top-right:

    ... but it doesn't quite work in Linux Mint 12, so I deactivated it.

        the Activities menu is, which makes the hot corner behaviour
        more discoverable than it might be otherwise. So I'm not sure
        how the designers would feel about simply moving it to a

        solution to be reached.
