So basically, as the title says, is there any way to change the active screen corner setting automatically depending on whether or not a mouse is plugged into a macbook?
My scenario: I have a Mighty Mouse plugged in, and I use the sqeezy buttons to launch "All windows" (expose) as I then don't have to move the mouse to a corner. I then set the bottom left screen corner to show the desktop. I do this because I find it quicker and easier to set my most common action to the mouse and the less common one to the screen corner. However, when I use the trackpad on the macbook, its quicker and easier to use the bottom left screen corner for expose and plus, I have no squeezy alternative.

Btw, I find that the bottom left corner is the only natural area for me to use and I realise I could easily resolve the problem by setting expose to another extra corner, but if there is any kind of applescript way or some program that automatically switches the settings, it would be great.

Sorry I take forever to make my point, and if you understand what I'm saying, I would be grateful for any input.
