“Cinnamon is a GNOME Shell fork which tries to offer a layout
similar to GNOME 2: it comes with a panel at the bottom by default
(optionally, you can use 2 panels or a panel at the top) that
supports autohide, panel applets, a classic system tray,
GNOME2-like notifications and so on, but using GNOME 3.“Cinnamon 1.4 has been released today and the major change in
this release is a new hot corner behavior which can now use either
workspace selection (like Compiz “Expo”) or window selection (like
Compiz “Scale”). In expo mode, you can add or remove workspaces and
when you hover a workspace, the windows are arranged like in the
overview so you can see all available windows (which you can drag
onto another workspace, etc.). Also, the hot corner position can
now be changed.”
