Currently only the 'present windows' and some desktop presentations (desktop cube etc) are available for screen corners and edges. If I move my mouse to one corner, I'd like to have the option to show the plasma dashboard.

Currently I don't use widgets a lot. I have many windows opened and don't look to my desktop all the time. Pressing the applet button for showing plasma is not always desirable. I'd be cool if moving towards a screen corner also shows the plasma dashboard (or desktop, like OS X also have). Of course this must be configurable in the system settings window.

Good idea, especially if you have a "decoupled" dashboard. I.e. a dashboard with just system-information plasmoids would be great to be able to show that easily (sure, there's always ctrl-f12 but not as convenient when you're in "mouse mode"). Besides, I don't like using the show dashboard and/or show desktop plasmoids in my panel(s). They take too much space for something used only rarely.
