I'm actually able to do this just fine. One tap left and I wrap
around. That's odd.

Another difference with my machine: If I have no apps open, the global
menu for nautilus shows up (since presumably the desktop is nautilus,
and it has focus). Again, odd.

One of our machines seems to be behaving oddly. I'm guessing it's mine
(it's an upgrade from maverick from lucid), but either way it would be
nice to know the intended behavior here.

Cheers,
