Subject: bug#10165: [PATCH] Allow setting corner in mouse avoidance mode.

From: Thierry Volpiatto <[email-masked]>
Date: Wed, 30 Nov 2011 07:05:29 +0100

As a reminder, I will have to put back the original behavior in
defcustom, that is to move the mouse by default in the 
top right corner i.e 
(defcustom mouse-avoidance-banish-destination '(right . top)
