I'm trying to make the launcher reveal on the bottom using Compiz, but everytime I change the reveal from left to bottom it says...

The new value for the edge binding for the action Reveal Mode in plugin Ubuntu Unity Plugin conflicts with the action Flip Down of the Desktop Wall plugin.

If found the edge flipping settings in Compiz, but I don't want to change them if I don't know what it means.

Edge flipping, which is disabled by default, I believe, allows you to move your mouse from one virtual desktop to another by simply moving past the edge. It sort of treats it like it's one big desktop, in a way, except instead of smoothly scrolling, it flips by a full screen. But it follows the cursor, so you don't need to move all the way across the screen to return to the previous desktop.

I personally find it very annoying, and I don't use it, but I'd guess it's probably better if you're used to it. Maybe it's even handy, but I've never really tried.

If you don't have it enabled, it still has settings for where on the screen it's triggered, much like the setting for the reveal mode. So, you might be able to safely ignore the warning.
